Sample Letter Calling Off Wedding Engagement
Dear Family and Friends,
Sean and I have been together for 12 and a half years. We have been friends since high school. I was 15 when we started dating and he was 17. I know everyone has long awaited the end of our engagement, hoping it would turn into that one great big wedding and settle into a lasting marriage.
Over the years, Sean and I have realized, this is not meant to be. We had something special too young and too soon. Perhaps we have always been great together as friends and it took this long and this event to realize that, because it has been so much fun growing up together this way.
I am grateful for the years we spent together, and I do love Sean, we will forever treasure our friendship. In this regard, we are calling off our engagement and moving forward on a mutually, positive note.
Thank you to all my family, friends for all your support.
Love,
Mindy

Request Letter for Extension of Probation as Teacher
For teachers, the first three months of probation is crucial. Areas of concern should be address via an appeal letter to the Board of Education before any appraisal for tenure is made.
Dear Education Board,
I would like to request your kind of office for an extension of time to achieve my teacher's license. The Teachers on Reserve (TOR) for Marymount High School came in too late into the semester and this is conflicting with my review schedule for the upcoming licensure exam for teachers. Unfortunately, my probation period is also coming to an end on March 8, 2012.
I am seriously seeking a permanent position as a faculty member and the licensure exam is all I need to complete the Board requirements prior to my performance review. This is the basis for permanent position.
I am a devoted and dedicated mentor and I feel I am very much qualified for this profession given the time and opportunity. I respectfully appeal to the Board to grant me the necessary extension.
Thank you very much
Sincerely yours,
Grace

Sample Letter to a Judge
Dear Judge,
We hope you will fully read and take into consideration the following sincere plea.
There is no lesson that Michelle Rodriguez could learn in 180 days that she couldn't learn in 18, or even 8. We do not believe that the imprisonment of this women is a demonstration of justice nor a fair punishment for her crimes. She is a good person. You were not allowed the opportunity to see Mayte Michelle Rodriguez the human, only the name on a legal document and if anything the "celebrity" name. To us, she is not a celebrity. We do not just support her for her few films or her professional career. We support her as a human being who, flaws included, has demonstrated so much kindness to others.
The Michelle Rodriguez we know when once stopped by a crying fan, told the fan that she's just a girl like her and took her with her to the movies and to hang out for the day with she and her friends. The Michelle we know was recently late to her own movie premiere, missing out on red carpet publicity for herself b/c she had stopped to talk to fans, sign autographs, and take photos on the streets of Toronto while the rest of the cast rode straight to the red carpet. She doesn't walk around with bodyguards, demand lists, nor a team of publicists. She is not a celebrity in any way that a celebrity is known. She speaks for herself, she's honest, and she's kind. She walks alone wherever she goes and NEVER turns down an autograph, a photo, a request for help, nor a demonstration of love.
The Michelle we know constantly strives to inspire women to be strong, self-loving, educated, and confident in themselves. The Michelle we know has a plan to develop a ranger program where kids can be taken from their confined and seemingly hopeless environments in inner cities and explore the world and learn about saving the environment and preserving nature. The Michelle we know does all she can to raise money and awareness for a small non-profit, animal-sheltering wildlife foundation in Florida run by a hard-working man and his elderly mother. The Michelle we know is in the process of writing an adventure movie for kids that will teach them the importance of showing love to animals, one's family, and to the world. This is the Michelle we know, plus so much more that you never got to see in your short time in a court room with her.
Whether she's walking in a runway show for MS Race for the Cure, appearing at US-troop supporting events, speaking at AIDS events, being honored by APCH in LA for her achievements and influence on young urban women, collecting funds for The Nature Sanctuary, or simply taking time out of her life to communicate messages of love to her fans....she does what she does for all the right reasons. She doesn't make hoards of money and she rarely gets publicity for any of her true loves which involve kids, animals, her family, and her fans. Instead she does it behind closed doors. What she also does behind closed doors is absorb every ounce of knowledge she can. Self taught, she's educated herself in history, art, science, metaphysics, psychology, world cultures, and the likes. The Michelle of today is not the same Michelle of 2 years ago who committed that second DUI, or even the same Michelle of a year ago. She is not perfect, and even she will admit she's made many mistakes, but she's ever evolving, as we all are.
Michelle has young fans who were rape victims, domestic abuse victims, of low-income upbringings and so on and they hold her as an inspiration that someone can come from a troubled background and overcome obstacles and find success b/c she herself did the same, growing everywhere from Texas to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, losing her father young, and spending her teen years surviving the ghettos of Jersey. Michelle knows the responsibility she has and the opportunity for communication she has in her position, especially due to her highly publicized mistakes. She expresses this to friends and family and fans all the time. She is aware, and she does her very best. And she is always growing and is always trying to learn what she can from the "school of life" as she so appropriately calls it.
We are asking, nay begging you to have mercy on Ms. Rodriguez and reverse or lesson your decision for her to serve so much time behind bars. She is a good soul and has much to offer the world that cannot be achieved if imprisoned for such an amount of time. Please. Please rethink and lesson this sentence. Thank you very much for your time. And as Michelle herself so often says in response to anyone and everyone who shows support or kindness to their fellow man: One Love.
Thank you.

Request Letter Change of Class Schedule
I would like to request a change of class schedule due to the counselling sessions with our school counselor, Mrs. Herbert. They are conflicting with the schedule of my Math classes with Mrs. Gruber.
As you deemed it mandatory that I attend these counselling sessions for a period of time, I would like to ask for consideration to attend morning Math classes under Mr. Grossman.
Thank you very much
Sincerely,
Cindy Moss

Example Thank you Letter for Sponsor
On behalf of Children's Catholic Charities, I would like to thank you for supporting our Sponsor-A-Child-to-School programme . This year we were able to enroll over 200 children in 10 struggling communities affected by the floods in Santa Cruz. We were also able to provide free school supplies and uniforms for the children.
We could have not achieve this humanitarian feat without your unwavering support.
In line with this, we will be doing several follow-up outreach trips to these schools in the next month, should you like to come and join us to meet the children for a little gift giving celebration, please let us know. We would be delighted to have you onboard so you can personally witness the changes taking effect in the community of Santa Cruz.
You may call Stella at 555-5545 for any info on our volunteer group or you may drop off your regular contributions at our charity offices. Your donations, cash and in kind, has done so much and will certainly go a long way.
We look forward to seeing you at our next engagement at the community center.
Very Truly Yours,
Sister Katherine

Sample Letter Request for Extension of Submission Date for School Project
I am Olivia Martin, a Political Science major and one of your students at the Sociology 101 class.
I am writing in behalf of my class to request for an extension on the submission date on one of your assigned projects- An Abstraction of Mankind's Appetite for Destruction on an Ecological Scale.
Unfortunately, due to the recent bad weather and the cancellation of our classes. We are unable to make full use of the University's library and information centers. Most of us are halfway through our research and subject interviews. If granted, the extra time would allow us to fully polish our work in time for the weekly presentations.
Hoping for your consideration.
Truly yours,
Olivia

Excuse Letter: Sick with Swine Flu
My child is suffering from very high fever the past couple of days and his pediatrician is suspecting a possible case of Swine Flu.
To avoid infecting any of your students, my son will be missing school until his fever subsides. I will also insist that you notify other parents to monitor their children's health. As they might have come in close contact with my son during play time or school work. I would like to apologize for this unfortunate situation, but right now my main concern is my son's well-being.
I will update the school immediatedly upon my son's recovery.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Piggs

I hope you understand
Sincerely,
Mrs. Talbott

Letter Requesting School Records for Collegiate Purposes
I am Fabrice Hauswig and I graduated from JFK High school last June 2001. I am now currently pursuing my second year of collegiate studies in Northern University, New Hampshire UK. Recently, my clearance for next term’s enrollment has been withheld due to my high school transcript records. The university is now requesting for an official copy of my transcripts in JFK high school.
If possible, I would be needing them before August 01, 2010 because this is the last day of our enrollment. Without the combined transcripts, the university would unfortunately drop my classes. The transcripts can be sent at my mailing address.
Your time, effort and prompt action are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much
Sincerely yours,

Notice Letter of Disciplinary Action by Christian School
Over the past month, it was revealed that 10 students had used or were currently using marijuana. Some very courageous parents, who loved their children enough to come forward and seek help, started the process. We cannot thank them enough for their integrity and their courage. We truly believe lives have been saved because of their faithfulness.
Use of marijuana is a major violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Our policy states that this violation mandates that a student appear before the Board of Directors for a hearing to determine the consequences of such a violation and ultimately to determine if that student should be allowed to return to the student body.
For over 12 hours on Saturday and Sunday, the Board of Directors and administrators met with each student and his/her parents. We listened to the students and parents, and we interacted with each student, challenging them to be honest and forthright about all the details surrounding the violation. One decision that was foremost on our minds was to determine whether any of the students needed to be removed from the student body for his/her own good. It was determined that none of the students required removal from the school.
Although no student was removed at this time, we imposed strong sanctions on each student to explicitly demonstrate the truth, to emphasize that there are always consequences of sin, and to begin the reconciliation process. Each student received some measure of each of the following sanctions:
1. Random Drug Testing. Each student will be required to undergo random drug testing for his/her remainder of time at Heritage.
2. Suspension.
3. Leadership and Extracurricular Suspension. All students have been removed from positions of leadership.
4. Community Service. Each student will be required to perform forty hours of community service.
5. Outside Counseling. Each student will be required to participate in counseling.
6. Accountability. Each student will be partnered with a member of the staff with whom he/she will meet weekly. The goal of this close attention is to ensure growth and personal accountability.
7. Probation. All students will remain on probation for the remainder of their tenure.
It is now our prayer that a full and complete restoration begin for these students, that each will look back on this time as a time of correction and rebuke from a loving Father, forgiveness from a loving Savior, and restoration and acceptance from the Body of Christ.
We are grateful and thankful for your continued support and prayer for the school family.
In His Service,
Holy Chairman of the School Board

Letter seeking Scholarship Applicants
We trust this finds you well.
You may now be familiar with the Asia Leaders Programme (formerly known as Dual Campus Master of Arts in International Peace Studies programme) of the United Nations-mandated University for Peace (UPEACE), a graduate school specialised in peace education and conflict resolution training. This is a Scholarship Programme being funded by The Nippon Foundation - Japan, which is run out of our main campus at Costa Rica and Ateneo de Manila University, the UPEACE partner university in the Philippines. In April 2009, the programme for the third cohort of scholars commenced.
We are writing to you because at this point, UPEACE would like to extend an invitation to interested parties to apply for the next intake of scholars.
We believe that many individuals within your network would not only be interested but would be quite qualified for this scholarship. We would thus like to request your assistance by disseminating the attached promotional materials within your network. For your quick reference, attached are some pertinent details of this programme.
Best Regards,
Maria Luisa

Notice of Teacher's Resignation letter to Parents
I have recently turned in my resignation at the school. I will miss your kids very much as they are very likeable, well-mannered students.
I would like to dispel rumors that I have been suspended from teaching due to unfavorable reasons. This is very much untrue. I have resigned from my post and given up tenure to relocate to Nebraska, as my husband has been promoted and been given a supervisory role in his company. I have been teaching at Saint Martin's for many years and this was a very tough decision on my part. But as you all know, there comes a point when family becomes our first and utmost priority.
Be rest assured, your children will be in good hands and in the care of a new excellent teacher, Miss Philips. She is an outstanding educator in our faculty and more importantly, she is also known in the community as a loving mother to two kids.
As I reflect on my years of teaching, I would like to thank you all dear parents, faculty and staff of St. Martin's for being supportive and caring. You have made my stay a precious experience and certainly, a most fruitful journey.
Sincerely,
Teacher Kim
