Believable excuses
- So sorry for the late notice, but my bank blocked my card and I have to go in person, so the draft isn't ready yet. I'll send progress in the meantime.
- I'm really sorry, but the lift in my building broke down and I live on the 14th floor, so the deadline isn't happening. I'll send progress in the meantime.
- I'm really sorry, but a pipe burst in my bathroom, so the launch has to move. I'll keep you posted.
Questionable excuses
- I swear this is true: I won a free spa session that expires today, so I'll send it first thing tomorrow. Appreciate your flexibility.
- Here's the thing: I accidentally joined a stranger's wedding procession, so the launch has to move. Apologies for the delay.
- Here's the thing: I got lost in IKEA, so the draft isn't ready yet. Let me know if that's a problem.
Absurd excuses
- Against all odds, a time traveller from 2087 chased me three kilometres in the wrong direction, so the deliverable will be late. I'll keep you posted.
- I have witnesses: a mime convinced my landlord I'm a vampire, so the deadline isn't happening. It'll be worth the wait.
- Out of nowhere, a raccoon in a tiny hat convinced my landlord I'm a vampire, so the draft isn't ready yet. I'll keep you posted.
