Respected Sir,
I, Sarthak Das, am a student of class XI, section C of your reputed institution. I am writing this letter to inform you that I was unable to attend last month’s parent teachers’ meeting held on 30th March. Unfortunately, my grandfather fell unconscious the same morning the meeting was supposed to be held. My grandfather is 80 years old and it was not possible for my parents to leave him alone in that condition.
He had to be taken to the nearest hospital immediately. I also accompanied my parents to the hospital as I was very concerned for my grandfather’s health. I never miss the PTM and I assure you that this will not be repeated in the future. I kindly request you to understand the problem. I will be highly obliged if you consider my situation.
Yours faithfully,
Sarthak Das ( Class XI, C)

Respected Madam,
I, Shakshi Kumar, am a student of class VI section D of your reputed institution. I am writing this letter to inform the reason for being absent from PTM that was held on last Saturday. I have been suffering from a high fever and sore throat for the past week. I could not attend school since Monday. I informed my class teacher as well. My doctor strictly advised me to take bed rest until I was fully recovered from fever.
Although my classmates informed me about the PTM, I could not attend it due to my ailing health. I will resume school once I am totally recovered. Also, my parents will have a discussion with my class teacher about my progress when I am fit to join the school. I kindly request you to understand my situation. I will be highly obliged for your consideration. I have attached the prescription of my doctor to support my statement.
Yours faithfully,
Shakshi Kumar ( Class VI, D)

Respected Sir,
I, Pawan Khurana, am a student of class IX, section C of your reputed institution. I would like to inform you of the reason for being absent on the day of PTM. I am a student at Green Field Cricket Coaching Center for the last five years. On Saturday, when the PTM was held, I had a match with my coaching center. Hence, I could not attend the PTM. The match was against a team of another center. Our center usually organizes two matches on alternate weeks. The match was held quite far from our place for which my entire family accompanied me. I apologize for not attending the PTM and assure you that it will be not repeated in the future.
I hope you would understand the reason. I will be highly obliged if you consider my situation.
Yours obediently,
Pawan Khurana. (Class IX, C)

Respected Madam,
I, Anouk Mishra, am a student of class VIII, section A of your reputed institution. I would like to inform you that I was absent at PTM last Friday. Both of my parents go to work and it is quite difficult for them to attend PTM on a weekday. Moreover, our school bus also did not agree to come on PTM day. Hence there was nobody to take me to school. My parents informed my class teacher and she has agreed to meet my parents on a separate day to discuss my progress. I deeply regret being absent at PTM. My classmates have given me the necessary information. I kindly request you to understand the genuine issue. I will be highly obliged if you take my situation into consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Anouk Mishra (Class VIII, A)
