I've applied to the University of ....... for fall 2016 graduate admission. The deadline for my references to submit the recommendation letters is December 01.
One of my references is currently extremely busy and has asked me to request the graduate administrator to contact him regarding the reference letter deadline.
I'm trying to think of some way to communicate this to the graduate administrator. Is the following e-mail alright?
Dear .......,
I am a Physics graduate applicant to the University of ....... for fall 2016
entry. My Application Number is ...........
One of my referees, Professor .......... from the University of ..........,
is currently under extenuating circumstances and will not be able to
complete my reference letter in time. He's asked me to contact you regarding
this urgent matter.
I would be grateful if you could contact him at his e-mail address
......@.......... , and also to kindly confirm if you have received this
e-mail.
Yours sincerely,

Does the e-mail look proper and ready to be sent?
