Subject: Request to arrange extra classes
Sir,
I, as the monitor of Class VI - A, beg to say that our class immediately needs special coaching periods in English. As you know, there was no teaching of English in our class for one month. This was so due to long illness of our English teacher. Much of the course is yet to be done. I feel that it cannot be done in time. Special coaching periods will be a big help in the matter.
So, I request you most respectfully to give us that help.
Thanking you!
Yours obediently,
Reena
VI - A
