_____________________________________
Dear Mr. Maxim,
I am Kevin Canwate, a recent 'Senior Operations Manager' appointee at your firm, slated to start at the Tallahassee branch on November 15.
I regret to inform you that I have failed to secure an early release from my current contract due to an unforeseen mishap.
The last project we were working on had an accident on-site due to a lightning strike. The resulting mess will now have to go through insurance claims, and as the Operation Manager, I'll have to stay put until due process is completed.
Eager as I am to commence work at your esteemed firm, I would be remiss to quit my current project amidst such chaos. My superiors here are aware of the situation and have extended their full cooperation to expedite the process. I am hopeful of being relieved from my position by the third week of November.
I can make up for the lost time by contracting my training period from four weeks to three. Alternatively, I can also work on weekends for the first four weeks.
I hope you understand my predicament and extend my joining date by a week.
Please find enclosed clippings of newspaper reports about the incident and copies of the insurance claims filed.
Sincerely,
Kevin Canwate
