Dear Mr Strickland,

I am writing to you to request that you allow me to pay my rent late this month.

我写信请求你允许我在本月晚些时候交房租。

I’ve been a tenant with you for a number of years now, and, as you know, I have always paid my rent on time. However, I am having a few financial problems at the moment. Last month, I was made redundant from my job because the company I work for is closing down. Because I have not worked at the company for long, I have not received a redundancy payment, therefore leaving me short of money this month.

到目前为止，我已经在你们这里租了很多年了，而且，正如你所知，我总是按时付房租。然而，我现在有一些财务问题。上个月，我被解雇了，因为我工作的公司要倒闭了。因为我在公司工作的时间不长，所以没有收到遣散费，所以这个月缺钱。

I can assure you that I will be able to pay the rent on the 15th of next month. I have now found another job, and they have kindly agreed to give me an advance on my wages, but they are unable to arrange this until next week.

我可以向你保证，我能在下个月15日付房租。我现在已经找到了另一份工作，他们已经同意预支我的工资，但他们要到下周才能安排。

I hope this will be acceptable to you, but please contact me if it is a problem.

我希望你能接受，但如果有问题请联系我。

Yours sincerely,
John Streetham.
