Correct order of clauses and an addition of "a"

My friend is arranging for me to do volunteer work in an office. This is what he says in his email.

(ex) Since the office is small, should you be accepted, you will be asked to do some chores. You might even have (a) possible cleaning assignment.

May I ask two questions?

(1) Are the three clauses separated by two commas in the correct order?

(2) Do you need the indefinite article "a" in the second sentence?

Thank you very much for your help.

Yes.

ansonguy(2) Do you need the indefinite article "a" in the second sentence?

Yes. 'might' implies 'possible'. I would therefore remove 'possible'.
