Subject: GGHSS – Thindivanam seeking permission to visit the museum – Reg.

Respected Sir,

A team of 50 students wishes to visit your museum on 17th August 2018. We will be coming in two buses. Kindly arrange a guide who can detail each exhibit with its relevance to Indian culture and Tamil History. I learned that curators can help children understand the importance of every exhibit in the museum and effortlessly relate it to the age it belongs to and its relevance to modern times. Could I request you grant us permission to visit the museum on 17th August 2018 and benefit from your expert guidance and a well-experienced guide who can explain things well in Tamil.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,
M. Padmavathy.
