Need help in wording something
there is a very good possibility that I will need to turn down a job that I accepted and signed an offer for.
I am totally dreading making the call! I feel as though I at least OWE it to them to call, rather than sending an email.
how would you word something like this?

I have no advice, just very excited for you
maybe just tell them that an unexpected opportunity came up that you can't pass up.

thank you Meaghan! 
yea, well it's now worse than I thought. it's getting delayed and I might even have to start this job and then quit after a very short time, like a few days 
bad timing with the holidays!!

Re: Need help in wording something
I would say something to the effect of while you appreciate the opportunity they have given you, your cirumstances have changed and you don't feel it would be in your best interest, or theirs, for you to accept the offer after all. I would not say anything about the details behind why. It's a business decision on your part and you don't owe them anything beyond a basic explanation. FM me if you need more help with the wording.

I personally wouldn't start a job and then quit a couple of days later, especially knowing you are going to quit.

ITA - I'd just add a thank you for the opportunity into this.
