Dear Mr Williams,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request permission to be absent from school on the 21st of October 2024 due to a burial ceremony of my late dad taking place on the said date.

I understand the importance of attending classes and assure you that I will take all necessary steps to catch up on any missed work. I will coordinate with my teachers to obtain the assignments and notes from that day to ensure I stay up to date.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Sincerely,
Aurora Richardson
