Sample Answer 1
Band 7
Dear Sir,
Please accept my sincerest apology for not being able to do full-time work as a secretary for your reputed company, 'Toyota', due to my grandmother's sudden illness.
A couple of days ago, she had severe pain on the left side of her body, and she was paralysed. But after taking medical treatment, she is bedridden now. It is a serious concern because she can not move around, and I am the only one who can look after her.
Therefore, I am supposed to be with her during this hard time, and I would like to change my working hours so that I can do part-time work. I fully understand that this kind of inconvenience is very difficult, but I assure you that I will do my best.
For this, I would like to make a kind suggestion that you allow me to work from home, and I will join the office on Friday and Saturday with extra working hours without extra salary, since my son is at home on such days.
I hope you can understand my situation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Priya Choudhary
