Dear Mr. Putin,
My name is Rick Madman I am a student of local college number two and I am studying your course in construction engineering. I want to remind you, that one month ago you gave us to make a
project
on determining the technical level indicators of designed products, based on your instructions and recommendations. The task was not hard, but I ran into some problems. Firstly
, when I was doing the project
there were problems with the electricity, so I could not make it normal. Secondly
, when the project
was practically done cause of my younger brother the project
was completely removed, however
, the plan and some notices were saved. It made me very upset because all my work just evaporated. Despite that, I did not give up and started from the beginning and it was much easier because I already knew what I should do. I am writing to you because I have not finished the project
yet and I have to correct some things. I am just asking you to give me a little more time, about three days to finish the project
and I will present it at its best.
Sincerely yours,
Rick MadmanSubmitted by acaitaz on
