Dear Professor Harrison, My name is Shakir Ali, and I writing to request permission to take a week off my course
this
semester. I am currently studying for an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering here at the University of Manchester. I have just started my second year of studies at the university. I recently applied for an internship at a prestigious engineering company by the name of Patroclus Engineering and was lucky enough to be accepted.
This
is truly an excellent opportunity for me to learn a great deal about the practical application of Chemical Engineering. Unfortunately,
due to
the fact that the internship will take place during the semester. I have to apply for a week of leave. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with a letter approving
this
time off. If I could show that letter to my professors, it would be extremely helpful in persuading them to accept my request. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Yours Sincerely, Shakir Ali

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • 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.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
