• Hello sir,
  We are very sorry to inform you that project delivery has got delayed. Because one of my key team workers is sick due to food poisoning at the last minute which is completely unpredictable and unexpected. So we are trying with the substitute to finish it but it is required a lot of skill set. Since we lost the time it requires a delay of one week.We can assure that these kind troubles will not be happend in future. Please accept our apologies.
  Thanks & Regards,
  Durga Prasad K.
