Taking a extra semester for IB? Help.

Hi, I have decided that I will take an extra semester to recruit for IB again. As a result, I needed some advice in regards to networking. I have a bunch of networks at a specific bank who will recruit out of our school again soon (i interviewed with them last semester). Should I email my network saying I am taking an extra semester as I don't want to sound needy/i don't want to feel like I am using them?  I need help crafting an email.

Email ex- 

Hi xyz, 

I hope you have been doing well! 

(updated about my classes etc)

I wanted to inform you that I am taking a extra semester for xyz reason, and I noticed that xyz's application is open for summer 2022. I have applied again and I look forward to hearing back.

I know this is bad so i need some help, thank you!
