Dear Sir or Madam,

I am articulating this letter to inform you that due to some reasons, I am not able to join your company. My name is Maupreed Kaur and Inventory Clerk. My joining date is 15 August, but unfortunately I am not able to come. The primary reason is that my mother has fallen seriously ill, she needs proper support and care. As I am living outside the country, so I have to go to India to see her. This situation is very unexpected for me, and at this moment my family is my priority.

I sincerely apologise for this inconvenience that may cause. I expect to return in September 9. I will be available to start my job from September 5th. I really appreciate your understanding and supporting during this difficult time.

I hope to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Deepak
