Sub: Warning Letter for Work Delay

Dear subcontractor,

I am writing to you because I would like to inform you of the work delays and why we are having them. As you know there is an outbreak of the (Cause of outbreak, e.g., drought or heavy rainfall). Over half of my men have caught this natural disaster. Due to this, I have had to delay till I have the correct amount of workers because of the machinery and for safety reasons I have to have a minimum of 10 men on site and I don’t have the right amount of back up men to cover the shifts for the sick men. (Show your actual problem and situation). I hope that you understand and please forgive the delay but we will soon be back on course.

Kind regards,

Sir,

I am writing this letter to inform you that the project we started was to be completed by the end of this month, but due to certain things that include Daily rains, (Show your actual problem and situation), the protests and some more have become the reason in delay of the completion of the work. The reasons made it impossible for labor to be on the work on time and thus it delayed our work.

I hope that you will understand and will extend our project deadline.

Thanks,
