You are due to move into a rented apartment next month but you will not be able to because you have some problems.

Dear Mrs Anna,

I have recently agreed to rent your apartment, and I am supposed to move there on August 1st. I am afraid I cannot do so in August due to some personal problems. I am hoping that you would allow me to move into your apartment at the beginning of September instead.

I am Koharu Rio, signed a rental agreement with you on July 15th and I am due to move into your apartment C4 located in Cranberry Street on the 1st of August. I have already paid you two months rent upfront. However, the sudden news of my mother-in-law’s sickness propels us to change our plan. I along with my husband and children will travel to Japan sometime next week. I am not sure how long we will be staying there but it would not be less than a week I guess.

After we get back from Japan, my husband and I both will be terribly busy to cover our work at our offices and hence shifting our house would be impossible for us. I would request you to consider my circumstances and allow me to move into your apartment at the beginning of September.

I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding this.

Yours sincerely,

Koharu Rio
