Dear Madam,
I hope
this
letter finds you well and in good health. I am writing this
to let you know that I will be unable to take the English test scheduled for next week, the 23rd of March, as it falls on the day of my mother's open heart surgery. It will be a very tense moment for our family and so I would like to be able to provide comfort and support to my mother along with
my younger brother and sister during the same.
Also
, I am extremely sorry for not being able to make it on the test day, as I understand this
is a very important examination, whose result will determine my Mid-Term score while
also
contributing towards my final grade.
Furthermore
, may I know if you could kindly arrange for me to take the examination at a later point in time? This
would be of huge help during these stressful times. I am fairly flexible the week after the operation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
JohnSubmitted by praneeth2094 on
