Dear Mr. James Palmer,
I am a tenant in your apartment at 295 Seneca Street. I am writing to you because I will need an extension on myAugust rent payment.As you know, my rent is always paid on the 1st of each month and no later than the 5th. Unfortunately, I will not be able to send the money on time and would like an extension toAugust 20.
Nature Publishing Group, where I used to work, was acquired by One Media Holdings last month. This company moved its corporate headquarters to Wilmington,Delaware.Although I lost my job, Nature Publishing Group’s employees here were promised severance pay but have yet to receive it.Company attorneys insist that payments will be made byAugust 18th.
I have leased this apartment from you for several years and have never been late with rent payment.As this apartment is comfortable and quiet, I have no desire to leave this place. My financial problems will be resolved, since I will start a new job at the beginning of September.
I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Bob Schmidt
