informal e-mail

Hi,

I´m writing about the assignment you gave me last week about European Union. You said it had to be handed in at the end of this week but I need a few extra days as I´m feeling pretty ill at the moment and my doctor says I should chill out. You can call me if you want. My number is 050 570 0070

Thanks a lot Clark Kent

Dear Mr Smith, I am writing you in the matter of the assignment about the European Union which I am indicated to work on. I am supposed to submit the assignment at the end of this week. Unfortunately, I would not be able to do the task on time, since I do not feel very well these days and my doctor recommended me to rest. Therefore, I would like to apologize and kindly ask you to postpone my deadline. In case of any questions, I am reachable on my e-mail or on my telephone number 050 570 0070. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Clark Kent
