Monday has finished already. I was hospitalised three weeks ago because I was diagnosed with Acute Appendicitis and I was advised to undergo surgery, in order to get relief from pain.
Hence
, I got operated on and was under medical supervision for ten days. Once, I got discharged, my physician advised me to be on complete bed rest for one more week because I got an infection in the stitches given after the surgery.
Therefore
, I could not finish my project in the given time frame but I would like to tell you that I am a meritorious student and I scored 92 per cent marks
last
semester.
Thus
, I request you kindly give me extra time of one more week to submit my project because I don't want to leave my work unfinished. I hope you will consider my request. Looking forward to hearing from your side. Yours Faithfully, Rustamova Laylo Laylo Rustamova
