Hello Sean, I am happy to accept this opportunity as this was the opportunity that I have been looking forward to for a long time. But I would like to let you know I will not be able to join the company on the joining date of October 1st 2020. Hence, I would like to let you know that I have been stuck in my grandparent's hometown due to his pandemic situation across the globe. Therefore, the only mode of transportation from their town to my city is through public transportation, which in the current situation is a little tricky. I would request you to delay my joining date for a week so that I could make the necessary arrangements in a while and travel from my present location to Banglore with all safety and precautionary steps. Thanks in advance for all the cooperation, and I will be looking forward to the new role. Regards Felix
