Mr. Adam Jacob

Sub: Request for Delay in Submission of Documents 
Dear Sir, 
I am writing this letter in reference to you letter dated January 30th, 2022. I would like to inform that 
there will be a delay in submitting my documents that were requested to complete the recruitment 
process for the profile of Marketing Executive with your company. This is because all my documents 
caught fire because of a fire breakout at my residence. Due to the accident, I have lost all important 
documents that include my educational and experience certificates.  
Therefore, I am writing this letter to request you to consider my situation and grant me some more time 
as I am arranging for the duplicate copies of the same from the respective institutions. I have already 
submitted the request letters to my university as well as my previous companies to grant me a duplicate 
copy of my certificates and I shall receive the documents by the end of this week. 
I hope you will understand my situation and will grant me an extension of time for submitting these 
documents. 
Thank you for consideration. 
Sincerely, 
Robin Smith
