Question

Diligent Bank Limited has offered you the position of Controller in their Treasury Division. Competition for the position was intense, and you have received the letter of appointment after careful consideration of your credentials by the management. You have been asked to report to the Director of Human Relations on 20 February 2021 and assume responsibilities. However, it would not be possible for you to report on the stated date as you have to attend to certain personal matters.

 

Write a letter to the Director of Human Relations stating that you may be allowed to report on 05 March 2021 and cite reasons for your request. The letter should carry a polite tone, and the reason for your request should be significant to elicit a positive response.

Requirement

Draft a letter to all the employees of ABC limited, informing them about this decision. Use the indirect approach of bad news writing. Assume other necessary details. 

Answer 1

Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to thank you for the prospect of occupying the vacant position of Controller in the Department of Treasury. I’m honored to be a Diligent Bank Limited member, and I intend to focus my energy on the growth of the business.

I want to inform you that I can assume duties on 15th June 2021 because of some privacy concerns. I plan to report on duty on 05th June if only you do not mind.

Would you be so caring as to let me know if such a possibility is appropriate for you and the company at large? 

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Thank you for your deliberation,

Sincerely.
