Dear Professor, I am a part-
time
 student at the University of California, San Diego taking your evening course in Parallel Programming. I am writing to let you know that I will not be able to continue attending the classes because of recent changes in my full-
time
 employment situation. I currently hold a full-
time
 position as a Software Engineer at Microsoft. I have been recently promoted to a more senior position at work with increased responsibilities and workload.
As a result
, I have been having a hard
time
 balancing
time
 between the full-
time
 job and my classwork.
Moreover
, my personal life is
also
 getting affected as I have little to no
time
 that I can spend with my family. Give my current lack of
time
 and heavy workload, I have decided to drop out of the course and focus on my career and family for the
time
 being. I had a great practical experience attending your class and I look forward to attending the class again in the future and complete it whenever I find a suitable
time
 for it. I want to thank you for all the support and guidance that you have provided me so far through the course which has been of great help both academically and professionally. Sincerely, Pavan

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
