Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to provide an explanation for the delay in the formation of our corporation in Hawaii. As an important stakeholder in our business, I believe it is essential to keep you informed about the status of our incorporation process. Firstly, I would like to express my sincerest apologies for any inconveniences caused by this delay. We understand the importance of prompt and efficient corporation formation, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. The primary reason for the tardiness in our corporation formation is the unexpected increase in paperwork backlog at the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (CCA). Due to this unforeseen situation, the processing time for our application has significantly lengthened. We have taken all the necessary steps to expedite the process, including constant follow-ups and providing all required documentation promptly. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced further challenges in the formation process. The CCA, like many other government institutions, has implemented safety measures and remote work protocols to ensure the well-being of its employees. These adjustments have understandably slowed down the efficiency of the processing department. However, I want to assure you that we are actively working with our legal team and the CCA to expedite our corporation formation as much as possible. We have been in regular contact with the department and are closely monitoring the progress of our application. Despite these unforeseen delays, we remain committed to completing the formation process at the earliest possible date. We understand the necessity of forming a corporation to ensure legal protection, streamline our operational structure, and provide stability to our business operations. In the meantime, we are continuing to operate as a sole proprietorship/partnership [Specify the applicable type] to mitigate any disruptions to our day-to-day activities. Our team is putting in extra efforts to uphold our reputation for excellence and deliver on our commitments to our stakeholders. I would like to personally thank you for your continued support and patience during this period of delay. As soon as our corporation formation is finalized, we will provide immediate updates and necessary documentation to ensure that you remain informed about the progress made. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay. You're understanding and support are highly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [Contact Information]. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Best regards, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Company Name]
