Sir,
I want to bring to your kind notice that the fifteen minutes time allotted for the recess is not adequate for the students. We are not able to finish our tiffins properly in the allotted time. When the bell for the recess rings, it takes time for us to close our bags. Sometimes it happens that the teacher is in the middle of a topic, so he takes some extra time before leaving us. Besides this, we have to go to the washroom which takes some more time.
Often we have to gobble up the food so quickly that it leads to choking. We are also not able to freshen up ourselves properly by spending some time in playing and talking to our friends. Therefore, I request you to extend the break-time from fifteen minutes to half an hour.
I am sure that you will look to my request and the break-time will be extended soon.
Yours sincerely,
Abc. (b) mention road ...

Dear Aunt xyz,
You will be glad to know that I am going to awarded a special prize at annual prize r day ceremony in my school. I have secured full marks in science and maths in all
the three terms among all the five sections of eighth class. Therefore I have been chosen for this honour. The name of the prize is Archbishop Gold Memorial Award for the best student in Physics and Maths. The prize carries a gold medal and scholarship of Rs. 2500.
The best thing about the entire affair is that I am going to receive it from our r former president Shri A P J Abdul Kalam, an eminent scientist and visionary. He is the chief guest of the annual prize day this year. I am very excited and thrilled about my achievement plus receiving the hononr from the hands of such a great personality.
I also feel thankful from the bottom of my heart to my teachers, God and my parents with whose support and guidance I am able to achieve this success. I also need your wishes and blessings for my life ahead. Please convey my regards to uncle and love to Aryan.
