You are currently taking a course at a college but you will need to have a week off during this course. Write a letter to the college principal. In the letter, -Give details of your course -Explain why you need a week off -Say what you want the principal to do Dear Mr Haas! My name is Kseniia T. and I am an international second year student of the "Business English" course at the "Highline College". I am sure you are aware that I have been being a diligent student since the beginning of my studying. I am writing to request you to grant me a week off from 5th July to 11th July. Unfortunately, my father has had to go in hospital for a heart surgery and my family expect me to be in my home country. I realise that such situation is not normal for our college, but I very much hope, that given circumstances, you would be prepared to give me a permission to be absence for the week. Also I am asking you to let me to pass the psychology exam after my returning. My tutor is Mr. Johnson and I have already arranged with him about the pushing of the examination date. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours respectfully, Kseniia T.
