Subject: Request to extend deadline to March 5
Hello,
I'm requesting an extension on the assignment due February 28. Due to a sudden family obligation, I'm not able to complete it to standard by then. May I submit it by March 5? I will continue working steadily, share a brief update midweek, and ensure the final deliverable meets expectations. Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
