oldbag agony auntHi

When you start a new job they usually ask about and honour any planned holidays

However I am sure your friend will be pleased for you and not mind in the least that you are postponing.

Congratulations too.

Here goes:

Dear (friends name),

I am so sorry to have bad news for us that is good news for me!

I have accepted an awesome job opportunity that means that it is not good timing to take a vacation!

This is wonderful for my career success, but means that I have to post-pone my visit for awhile, until I can settle in and show my new employer I am reliable!

I know you will be happy for me; thank-you for understanding! I apologize if you have been inconvenienced in any way over this.

I am quite disappointed that I can't visit you when we had planned. I will tell my employer about this, and ask when would be a more appropriate time for me to book time away.

Sincerely, (your name)
