1. Asking for Leave of Absence To: Ms. Riddle, an Oral English teacher From: Sam, a sophomore student in Oral English Class Two Date: June 18th, 2005 Subject: Asking for Leave of Absence Dear Ms. Riddle, Im Sam, a respectful sophomore student of yours in Oral English Class Two. I wonder if I could be excused for absence from your Oral English class this Wednesday morning. Yesterday evening I got a phone call from my cousin, who is now running a small firm in the suburbs of this city. He needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most reliable person, so he wants me to have a try. Personally, I regard this as a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your class into practice, but I need your permission of absence. If you think I may go and help him get over the difficulty, I am confident that Ill do a good job and both of us will be grateful. Earnestly yours Sam |
