Band 9: You are taking a course at a local college. The deadline for your project was last week but you haven't finished it. Write a letter to your lecturer. In your letter • introduce yourself • explain why you haven't handed in the project yet • request more time to do it.

Dear Sir,

My name is Purvik Patel, and I am enrolled in your vehicle structure analysis class. I am writing to inform you that I am unable to submit my project on car crash simulation by the deadline.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been dealing with a persistent cough. During my last visit to the family doctor, I was informed that I have COVID-19 symptoms, and he recommended that I take bed rest and complete isolation for two weeks. I hope you noticed that I have not attended your classes for the past ten days.

Yesterday, I received essential information for the assignment from a friend. As shown in your course records, I have previously submitted all assignments in a timely manner. Given my health issues, I kindly ask if you could grant me an extra week to complete this project. This extension would not only help me achieve a better score but also allow me to explore the real-life applications of this assignment.

I hope you consider my request and look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,

Purvik
