If you lose your passport, you should contact the embassy without delay.
Hello,
I saw this sentence example in Longman Dictionary.
Can we use without delay at the beginning of the sentence or in different contexts or not?

For example: [color=blue]without delay, If you lose your passport, you should contact the embassy.

Any thoughts?
Thank you

No, that does not work.

If you lose your passport, you should contact the embassy without delay.
Hello,
I saw this sentence example in Longman Dictionary.
Can we use without delay at the beginning of the sentence [color=blue]no! or in different contexts or not?[color=blue] I don’t know what you mean by “or in different contexts…”.

For example: Without delay, if you lose your passport, you should contact the embassy. [color=blue]No, that’s a very bad sentence. [color=blue]Why would you want to separate the “without delay” and “…contact the embassy” parts?

Many thanks.
