You have just enrolled in a 12 week English class, but have found that you have a family problem and you will have to return home. Write to the school. In your letter 􀁸 Explain what has happened 􀁸 Request a refund 􀁸 Ask whether you will be able to return at a later date

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to inform you that
due to
unforeseen circumstances, unfortunately, I will no longer be able to join the twelve-week English class at your institute which commences next week. I am enrolled in Batch 7. Yesterday I received information about my grandmother's health condition, she suffered from a minor heart attack, and
thus
, requires emergency surgery which is scheduled for
this
Saturday.
For
this
reason, I would have to urgently travel back home to take care of her pre and post-operation. As
this
is a family emergency,
according to
the institute's refund policy I am allowed a full refund.
Therefore
, I would be grateful if you could initiate a refund at your earliest convenience.
Due to
a shortage of funds in my bank account, I require the refunded money to book my travel tickets. Thereby, your early action is necessary.
Also
, I would like to know if it is possible to transfer my name to the summer batch which starts next month. English proficiency is required to apply for the job I am interested in.
Hence
, would like to start the twelve-week English language course with the next group on my return. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Yours faithfully, Akshita Parasher
