Respected Sir,
I, abc xyz on behalf of class IX-B request you to give us the permission to visit Fathepur Sikri situated at a distance of about 1555 km from Mumbai.
We want to visit this place because of its historical value. Secondly, through our history books we learnt that it was built with a fusion of arts of different cultures, so we want to go and have a first hand experience. It will be helpful for us to understand the chapter in a better way. Not only this, we will also be able to gather knowledge about the Mughal period and about the richness of the Mughals.
We hope that you will think over our request and allow us to go on the educational tour to Fathepur Sikri.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours obediently

Last week the jubliee celebration were held in the school. It was an event full of fun, work and play. We all missed you a lot. Hope by now you may have recovered from your illness.
The DM of Agra district Mr. Pankaj Kumar was the chief guest in the two days celebrations held in the school. The senior section students presented a dance drama on the theme 'Women Empowerment'. The audience throughly enjoyed and appreciated it. I, too had a major role in the act. My performance was rewarded with a standing ovation.
To tell you truly, before the call on the stage I was very nervous and scared. There were butterflies buzzing in my stomach. But once I was on the stage, all fear disappeared and it was smooth sailing. The other programmes were solo song, group song, folk dance and contemporary dance form. The progress report was read by our principal Mr. Alex Jhon.
I sincerely wish you could also make it to the grand event held in school after so many months. Hope to see you back in school soon.
Yours friendly
Ramesh
