Dear Mr. Khedo,

I hope you are well. I am Sarah Macbeth, a final year student from the B.Sc.(Hons) Mechanical Engineering course. I am writing to address our recent project titled ‘Electromagnetism’ which was due on October 8th last week.

Unfortunately, I was unable to submit my project due to ongoing family issues. The recent retirement of my father has put significant financial strain on our family. To support my siblings, I have taken up a part-time cashier job at ‘The Pakbo’, our local restaurant. However, this sudden change has led to stress and hindered my academic progress, resulting in an incomplete assignment.

I have already begun working on the project and estimate that I will need no more than one week to complete it. I would appreciate it if you could grant me an extension to finalize and submit the project. If you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Thank you for your understanding. Take care.

Kind regards,

Sarah Macbeth
