Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for the opportunity to interview me last week. It was a pleasure to meet with you and your team. I was very pleased to learn that I was selected to work for your company, join your esteemed staff and be part of this renowned organization.
The Human Resources Department has notified me that the start day is Nov 15. Unfortunately, I will not be able to come on this date as I am on vacation with my family in Jordan and we are coming back to Dubai on Nov 25. I tried to book an earlier return flight on Nov 14. However, there is no flight on this day.
I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay. I hope this will not disrupt work at the company.
As a solution, I would like to suggest if it is possible that the joining date is Nov 18 as I can book to return on Nov 17. If you prefer, I can also meet with the team virtually to get to know more about the institution and my role and responsibilities. That will save both of us the orientation time.
Yours faithfully,
Annie William
