Hi customer name, I'm writing about Task or deliverable, which is due on Original due date. Reason, and I'd rather let you know now than hand in something half-finished. Would it be OK if I delivered it on New date? In the meantime, I can send you What you can share early. If that date causes any problems, let me know and we'll find the best option. Thanks for understanding,
