You would like your child to have a day off from school for a special family celebration. ok1Y9
Dear Professor Jones, I am writing to ask if it would be possible for my daughter to be absent from school on the first Monday of next month. I completely understand that the school has a strict policy regarding absences; however, I hope that, given the circumstances, on this occasion permission could be granted. The reason for this special request is that her brother is getting married the day before and the wedding is taking place quite a distance away from our hometown. This means that we will be travelling back home on the Monday and will not arrive until late in the evening. Obviously, her brother would be devastated and heart-broken if she were unable to attend this special family occasion. As she will be missing a whole day of school, I envisage that there will be classwork to catch up on and this will be done as soon as she returns to school. As you know, my daughter is an incredibly conscientious and diligent student and will be keen to be up-to-date with her studies as soon as possible. I can assure you that missing these classes will not have a detrimental effect on Sarah’s academic progress. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this further. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, John Smith
