I'm writing to you regarding my lost identification card.
I missed my ID card yesterday when I was coming on my way to the University, I noticed that it wasn't with me the moment I wanted to enter the University, I faced a real problem from the gate , as well as I had been forbidden from accessing the Library, I couldn't progress in my research. And not only that , to attend my chemistry laboratory I had to bring a permission from the dean, the problem that the permission I had was valid for only 48 hours, until I can get my new identification card.
As I need the card in every step in my college, most of my Business is hanging for now , I wouldn't be able to review some references or borrow them from the library, moreover , I have to submit my final research within one week , as the deadline is about to due , every day has a great value to me . Other problem , the missing laboratory classes are very hard to be substituted.
For all above reasons ,I want to apply for new card , hopefully, as soon as possible, in order to attend my classes and be able to finish my research in time , as you know the temporal permission would be expired by the end to today , I'm wondering if any official form should be filled . I brought my passport as requested and two passport size photos, if any further documents will be need , kindly contact me .
Your sincerely

Begin your letter as follows:
Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.
2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.
3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.
You should write at least 150 words.
