7th October 20XXMadam
I am a student of class VI of your school. I have been fined fifty rupees by my science teacher. He gave us a test day before yesterday. My mother was ill on that day. Nobody was at home. So, I had to stay at home to look after her. That is why I missed the test. Otherwise I am very punctual and regular.
But my respected teacher has fined me fifty rupees for not taking the test. Sir, I am too poor to pay the fine. Therefore, I request your to kindly reconsider my case and remit the fine. I shall be highly obliged to you for this act of kindness.
Thanking you
Yours obediently

Sub: Regarding insanitary conditions of the localitySir
I wish to draw your kind attention towards the insanitary conditions that have prevailed in my locality i.e., Chitragupta colony. The light is generally off. Some fruit sellers throw rubbish material on the road. As a result, the road looks dirty. Flies fly over the rubbish all the time. One can find pigs and stray dogs move freely , around the rubbish. The entire environment has become suffocating. We students, suffer a lot because mosquitoes trouble us at night when we are studying or doing homework.
I therefore, request you to kindly pay attention to my locality and do the needful.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely

Sub: Rising crime rate in GurgaonSir
Gurgaon is a fast expanding town in the National Capital region. It has big hotels, Malls and high-rise buildings. The countless multinational offices here employ thousands of workers. The population is increasing which includes migrants from several areas. As those migrants dream for a better life, they need money which they can’t get from their petty jobs.
As a result, criminal activities are on the rise. Incidents like chain snatching, robbery, house breaking occur almost everyday.
The police force is inactive or corrupt. So the people are feeling unsafe. The state must take some strict measures to restore law and order situation.
Yours truly

The Principal

New Delhi
Sir,
As the monitor of Class VI, I would like to request special coaching periods for English. For one month, we didn’t have any English classes because our English teacher was very ill. As a result, a lot of our syllabus is still incomplete, and I’m concerned that we won’t be able to finish it on time.
Having special coaching periods would greatly help us catch up.
I respectfully request your support in arranging these extra classes.
Thanking you!
Yours obediently,
Reena
