Re: Assignment

I regret to report that do to an extremely full calendar these past
two weeks( my new car broke down, I've been trying to maintain my
tan and I had to prepare for an outrageous  party), I will not be
handing my assignment in on time. I am sure that you appreciate the
pressure I have been under and since you have nothing to do but sit
in your office, I feel certain that you will accept my assignment
whenever I get around to handing it in. If there is any problem please
leave a message on my answering machine.

Sincerely,  
Chuck
