Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Jagatheesan, a final-year engineering student and I am enrolled in your course 4021. I was assigned a project to be completed by the 5th of October 2024. I am writing
this
letter to request an extension of an extra two weeks to complete the last
project in this
course which is due on the 5th of October 2024.
Completion of my other projects during the early stage of the course was submitted on time
and I have submitted everything on time
. However
, I met with an accident last
week and I was admitted to the hospital for the past few weeks I have undergone surgery on my hand and due to
a loss in my dexterity I was unable to complete the project on time
. In addition
, I was unable to write or type due to
the injury in my right hand which is healing with therapy and medications.
I would appreciate that if you could understand my current situation and kindly provide me with two extra weeks of time
for completion. In addition
, I have already submitted my medicals to the Department of Engineering as per request. Thank you for considering my request positively.
Sincerely Yours,
DamienSubmitted by onlineconsumer on
