Please suggest a good letter/email to request an extension of my Date of Joining (DOJ) by 15 days. I need to attend my brother's marriage. I have already asked HR to either reschedule the DOJ or extend it to December 13, 2016. My brother's engagement is on December 4th, the wedding is on December 9th, and the reception party is on December 11th. Your assistance is greatly appreciated as I truly value this job opportunity.

Extension of the Joining Date of the Employment


Dear Sir,

In response to your job ad published in ___________ (name of the newspaper or job portal), I had applied for the post of ____________ (designation). Later, as a part of the recruitment process, I appeared for the interview. My candidature was found suitable, and I was issued Offer Letter No __________ dated ___________. I am due to join on ___________ (date). My deep thanks for giving me the chance to work in ____________ (name of the future company).

When my selection was in progress, some developments were happening in my family simultaneously. These were about my brother's matrimonial alliance. When I received the offer letter, my brother's marriage was also fixed. My brother's engagement ceremony will take place on 4th December 2016, the wedding ceremony on 9th Dec 2016, and the reception on 11th Dec 2016 at _______, _________, and ________ respectively (write names of the places where these will take place).

Indian wedding ceremonies involve various rituals, and a wedding in our family is no exception. We are expecting a large turnout of our immediate and extended family members. In addition to this, there will be friends and acquaintances. Considering this, I foresee my role as a key assistant to my parents or a page or a factotum.

In view of the above, I request you to extend my date of joining to 13 December 2016 (Tuesday). I seek this extension as I would not like to embarrass myself by asking for leave immediately after starting a new job. Generally, job candidates join on Monday; however, I am making a request to join on Tuesday as the wedding reception will be conducted on Sunday, and I will remain busy with post-marital logistic management on Monday.

I sincerely request you to accede to my request. Your acquiescence will bolster my motivation level.

Warm regards,

___________ (your name)

Thanks,
