Sample answer
Dear Sir/Madam,
=====
I hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter to address a situation that recently occurred, which may affect the start of my job. Last week, I was in my hometown preparing to start my new opportunity at the company, and due to unforeseen circumstances, I met with a terrible accident. Simultaneously, I got admitted to the nearest hospital by a few locals, and the doctor has confirmed that I have a fracture that would probably require a complete month of bed rest, although I am trying my best to get fit very soon, as I have started with regular exercises that are recommended by my physician. Despite all my efforts, I am not sure I will be able to make it on my start date, and here I am requesting you to extend my start date to the 1st of June. I would highly appreciate your co-operation in this unfortunate time. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Abdul
