Band 7+: You are due to give a presentation at work at the end of this week, but you are unwell and would like to postpone the presentation. Write a letter to your manager. In the letter, Describe the presentation Explain why you cannot deliver the presentation on the scheduled day Request a different date for your presentation

Dear Mr. John,

I am writing to request an extension on my Presentation scheduled for the 13th of October, 2025.

The engineering department was asked to organise a workshop to introduce the use of AI in all departments of the company. After careful selection, I was asked to prepare a presentation on how to use Artificial Intelligence to enhance productivity in the work place. Not only that, the seminar would also touch on the dangers of overdependence on AI.

Unfortunately, I cannot make the presentation on the planned date due to unforeseen circumstances. I was recently diagnosed with a bacterial infection and my treatment spans 2 weeks. My treatment plan ends a day after the scheduled date which means I would not be able to attend.

I would like to ask that the presentation be postponed to a later date, preferably a week after the original date. Because, as it stands, I am still not done with the preparation and would need a few days to put everything together.

I would be grateful if my request is granted and I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,

Majeedat Abdulwahab
