I am writing this letter regarding the course I am enrolled under you, BIO 102 Introduction to Biology. As I have informed you in person, I have just gone through the ordeal of caring for my mother who recently lost her life to cancer. I am still trying to get back on my feet after the loss. I am very grateful for all the understanding that you have shown to me throughout this difficult time. I do not want to drop out of the subject in the middle of the semester; thank you for granting me the chance to submit my late requirements and for providing me the references you have discussed with the class when I was absent.
I would like to request a one-week extension for the submission of my paper to give me ample time to do thorough research and write comprehensively on my topic. If this is in agreement with you, I would like to submit my paper on the 8th of December this year.
Once again, thank you so much for extending consideration to me. I look forward to your positive response on this regard.
Sincerely,
Anastasia Woods
