Hi…… I’m sorry to send you this message but I’ve got some unfortunate news lately and I will not be able to take this job offer for the time being because of my personal health issues.

I had two surgeries 3years ago to remove a tumor in my body. And last week, I went for an reexamination, the doctor told me that it had grown back and I would need surgery again this year and I would need quite some time to recover the surgery and try to regain my full health.

In fact, I really want to work with you. I think I will be very happy and also l can learn a lot of things from you. But my health will affect my work for at least half a year because my body would not be able to withstand the high pressure that comes with the job.

I thought for a long time and decided to give up this opportunity. Such a decision is difficult for me and I hope you could understand. In the meantime, if you need any help from me, pls let me know.
