Great post. I think as long as you be professional and present a solution most clients will understand. They are human too.

Hi, I would add one more thing – I try not to get too much into personal details why the delay occurs. In the end most clients do not care and can do nothing with this piece of info. So I try to keep it to minimum. If they ask about details – I explain. Cheers!

Wonderful post! And a very well-written letter too. Sometimes clients get angry not because of the delay in the completion of the project, but because they weren’t notified right ahead that there were problems and unforeseen circumstances that prevented such completion. If informed properly and right away, clients usually tend to go through with the project and will usually make allowances.

Exactly Karen!

I couldn’t have said it better. An emergency should be a rare exception. A pattern of emergencies indicates a problem.
