Dear Mrs Smith, I am writing to ask you for a favour. I know that we have a test on Monday

week to review units 1-5 in our textbook.

However

, I have a meeting with the Immigration Department at 1

Dam on

the friend of Phintias who pledged his life that Phintias would return (4th century BC)

Damon

that day and so I cannot attend. I am terribly sorry about being absent, but unfortunately the appointment was made many months in advance and it is impossible for me to reschedule. If I miss it, my visa will be cancelled and I will be forced to leave the country. I am sure you can understand,

therefore

, what a crucial meeting

this

is for me. Is it possible for me to take the test at another time? I would be happy to stay behind one afternoon for as long as necessary to complete the exam. I apologise once again and hope I am not causing you too much inconvenience.

I concur with the second debatable topic for several reasons.
