Dear Sir,

I am Mrs Danielle. I am writing this letter to explain you that I can not be able to honor the appointment I gave you during my interview.

In fact, I supposed to start the work in your company as computer scientist in 5 days. But I cannot, because recently I had the issues that require me to push my trip.

Actually, I booked to leave my country to there for 10 days. But the company sent me the email yesterday and informed me that the airplane has some technical problems. They are not be able to solve this matter before one week. I checked to find another company that plans to arrive there as soon as possible but I did not find.

I think I will be able to start my work in 8 days when the company will solve their worry.

Thank you for your attention for this important matter.

Kind Regards,

Marcelle Fouad
