Dear Sir or Madam My name is James Read, and I am currently attending the hospitality management diploma
course
as a final-year student at your esteemed culinary institute. I am supposed to finish the course
in the next four months if everything goes to schedule. I am writing this
letter to request some time off from this
course
from 14th of August to 20th of August as I need to leave the town for a week in order to take my seriously ill and old aunt to the capital city of our country immediately for better treatment. By the way, my aunt does not have any children or a husband who could actually help her during this
kind of desperate situation. Of course
, I tried to approach the respectable chairman of my course
, but he referred me to ,you since he does not really have the authority to grant any leave to anyone at this
critical and important stage of the course
for such
a long period. Therefore
, I would like to request you to ask the chairman of my course
to consider my situation favourably and grant me leave for the stipulated period of time mentioned above. I will be much obliged for your kindness. Yours faithfully, James ReadSubmitted by mandeepsinghsony2022 on

- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
