Ask a client to push a deliverable back a week because a dependency slipped.
Dear Client, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding the upcoming deliverable. Due to an unforeseen delay with a key dependency, we will need to adjust our timeline by one week. We remain fully committed to delivering a robust, high-quality, and seamless result. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! Best regards
Hi Alex, Heads up that the report is going to land a week late. The data feed we rely on slipped, so we're waiting on that before we can finish. New date is the 14th. I'll send a draft of what we have on Friday so you're not in the dark. Thanks
