Dear Mrs Smith, I am writing to ask you for a favour. I know that we have a test on Monday next week to review units 1-5 in our textbook. However, I have a meeting with the Immigration Department at 1 Dam on that day and so I cannot attend. I am terribly sorry about being absent, but unfortunately the appointment was made many months in advance and it is impossible for me to reschedule. If I miss it, my visa will be cancelled and I will be forced to leave the country. I am sure you can understand, therefore, what a crucial meeting this is for me. Is it possible for me to take the test at another time? I would be happy to stay behind one afternoon for as long as necessary to complete the exam. I apologise once again and hope I am not causing you too much inconvenience.
