Dear Sir,

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to reach out to you about something important regarding my start date at ABC India Ltd.

Unfortunately, I’m dealing with a couple of unexpected issues that need my immediate attention. Firstly, a close family member is very ill, and I need to be there to support them during this difficult time. Secondly, I’m facing some unexpected housing issues that I need to sort out before I can start work.

I’m really sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. I’m working hard to resolve these problems as quickly as possible, and I anticipate being ready to start on 15th Jul 2024. I’ll keep you updated if anything changes.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. I’m really looking forward to joining the team at ABC India Ltd. and contributing to our shared success.

Best regards,

Rohit Sinha
