Essay & Composition Writing

Is it possible to say follwing?

I wanted originally to do my MS Thesis at Berkley in spring 2012. As I get surprised with some problem, now I have to postpone it until winter. I wrote the following text to my advisor there as one of many reasons:

During our study I had just one elective course dealing with Structural Optimization with a little explanation about Topology Optimization. Therefore, I think I am not qualified enough. I feel that I need to take more courses on this subject during the Summer term at WTU from Apr. 15, 2012 to Sep. 15, 2012 and do self-study. I believe that this will enable me to write a much better MS Thesis on Topology Optimization, which I plan to complete during the winter term 2012 at Berkley. Is it possible to date the application form DS2019 from Sep. 30th, 2012 to Mar. 30th, 2013 ?

and I've got the answer:

Dear Kai,

You should be fine with the course you had so far; all what is specific to your thesis you will be able to pick up here.

Would the following answer be ok?

Dear Mr. May,

actually the reasone I have named you in my last email is one of many reasons that I would like to postpone my MS Thesis until winter 2012. Despite all my efforts to do my MS Thesis in spring 2012, some thing has happened and it got me all in a muddle and now I realize that it might be only under very difficult and unpleasant circumstances possible to pull the whole thing off.Because of this I require you(has to be expressed very politely) for giving me some more time if it is possible.

Thank you!

Kai Uwe Ansorge

Well, you have already made a serious mistake in not being honest with your advisor, so I don't know how successful your subsequent request may be. However, you certainly cannot send him what you have written. Below is my suggestion.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your email. To be quite honest my problem is that I have burdened myself during the past 4 years such that my doctor says now that due to the high pressure of my study I could eventually burn out young. His suggestion to me is that I simply should stop everything and do nothing until I get better. At least for six months. But I was really embarrassed about talk

Dear Dr May,

I apologize for having misled you in my earlier request. I actually have further, personal reasons for wanting to postpone my MS Thesis until winter 2012, but I was hesitant to mention them. I have burdened myself during the past four years such that my doctor says now that due to the high pressure of my studies I could eventually burn out young. His suggestion to me is th
