Subject: Participation in Cleanliness Drive

Dear Sir,

On behalf of my classmates and other students of Lowada High School, I would like to express our wish to assist you in the Cleanliness Drive you are organizing.

Our school principal and teachers informed us about this drive and encouraged us to participate in it. I am proud that your efforts have not gone unnoticed. On the contrary, they proved to be highly motivating and encouraging. Asking people to contribute in their own small way to such social causes makes people feel a sense of belonging and responsibility.

When a person devotes his own time and energy to nurturing the place where he lives, he begins to recognize its value and appreciate it. If every person in this country does his part to keep his neighbourhood clean, we will save a lot of money and manpower which can be better utilized for the development of our country.

We the students of Lowada High School would like to contribute to this noble cause and will encourage our friends and families as well to do the same. We are grateful for this opportunity we received to serve the land which provides for and nurtures us at all times.

Thanking you.

Letter requesting for break time extension

Address……………………………

Subject: Request for an extension in break time

Dear Sir,

With due respect, I, Tapas Mandal, studying in Class 9 A would like to request you consider extending the break time from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes.

Since many of our parents bring us lunch from home, it becomes difficult to go to the entrance to bring it and finish eating on time. So we are often late for the next lesson and get punished for it. Also, this is the only time we can practice to celebrate the anniversary day. This extension will allow us to play on the school grounds and prevent us from being mere bookworms.

Your understanding in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you.

Subject: Request for exemption from payment of a donation

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to request you exempt me from paying the donation fee. I am studying in Class 9 and scored 95% in Semester I. I also scored 92% in Class 8.

My father works as an attendant at the local post office and his salary is the only source of income for my family of seven members. Besides, we live in a rented house. After paying rent and medical bills for my mother, there is hardly any money left for food. Therefore it is impossible for me to grant the Rs.30,000/- claimed by the institution.

I assure you that I will pay the amount after I complete my education and find a job. Kindly take my request into consideration and do the needful.

In anticipation of your reply, I remain,

Thanking you.

Letter requesting extra classes

Sender’s Address ……………….

Date: (DD/MM/YYYY)

Recipient’s Name,……………..
Designation & ………………….
Address……………………………

Subject: Extra classes to complete portion

Dear Ma’am,

I am the class leader of Std. IX Div A and would like to bring to your notice a serious matter.

Since the sudden illness of Miss Kamat, our class has been lagging in the completion of the History portion.

Since Miss Soumita’s sudden illness, our class has been lagging in the completion of the History portion. You may be aware that we did not have history periods for a long time after Miss Kamat left. The new teacher who is appointed to substitute for her has begun by going back to all the topics which we were already taught. Therefore, in all probability, we will not finish the entire portion before the exams. Since the dates of the final exams were declared, all of us are under a lot of pressure.

I request you to look into the matter and make the necessary arrangements. If need be, all of us are even willing to attend extra classes after school.

In anticipation of your response, I remain,

Thanking you.

Letter for a subject change

Designation & ………………….
Address……………………………

Subject: Application for Subject Change

Dear Sir,

I am a student of your school currently studying Standard VI. Kindly grant me permission to switch one of my subjects. I wish to take up French instead of Hindi.

Since I do not have a background in Hindi, I find it very difficult to grasp it. I have been trying my level best to catch up with the teacher’s explanations for the past year but am unable to excel in it. This has also resulted in a decline in my overall percentage. I understand that I will have to work hard as French is a new subject, but I am ready to take up the challenge. My language teachers have already explained to me the pros and cons of this decision, and I have discussed the same with my parents too. We all feel that taking up French is the best option for me at this juncture.

I, therefore, request you to consider my application and grant me your permission to give up Hindi and study French instead.

Thanking you.
