For this assignment, you will write emails explaining a situation to both an employer and a friend.
Your employer has asked you to work on a day that you have already requested off for personal reasons. You are unable to change your plans and must therefore explain why you are unable to work (a family wedding or similar event is a possible choice for this). Your friend has asked you to assist him or her with moving on the same day. Again, you are unable to help because of the same prior engagement.
Email to Employer:
Subject: Unavailability on [Date]
Dear [Employer’s Name],
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I will be unable to work on [Date] due to a prior personal engagement that I am unable to change. I will be attending a family wedding and it is a special occasion that I cannot miss.
I understand that this may cause some inconvenience and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I assure you that I will make every effort to ensure a smooth transition and will be available to answer any questions or provide assistance in any way possible before or after the specified date.
Thank you for your understanding and please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
