Model answer
Dear Ms. McKeen,
My name is Leo Smith and I am a first-year student in your Marketing class at Capilano College. I am writing to you because I have a problem with the project you set about social media. The due date was last week but I'm afraid I haven't finished it yet. As you know, I have been absent from class for almost ten days with COVID-19 symptoms and I have not been attending lectures. I only managed to get the reading list from a friend and go to the library to do research yesterday. You will see from your records that I have never missed a deadline for an assignment so far during my course.
However, I am requesting an extension of one week in this case because I am so behind with my work. I hope you will take my illness into consideration and grant me an extension.
Yours sincerely,
Leo Smith

2nd diagram. The diagram illustrates the multitude of steps a book undergoes before being published. Overall, there are nine stages a manuscript goes through before being released to the readership. After being wrote, the manuscript is sent from the writer to publishing house in order to be meticulously analyzed and studied. Once the book is validated, a contract between the author and the publisher has to be agreed and signed. The next step consists on designing the layout for the book using computer science before getting the final validation. Then comes the moment to print, in another words, put the data from a digital form to a paper form. The book binding follows the printing. Once the editor chooses the correct shape of the product, the work can be delivered to many bookshops so it can be commercialized. To conclude we can say that the release of a writing production in a paper format, no matter the literature gender of the manuscript, needs numerous steps, 9 to be exact, and requires full collaboration between a publishing house and the author.
