Answer 1

C/l, Aparna Apartments,
C. S.Road,
Dadar (West),
Mumbai - 400 028.
7th July 2020.

To The Principal,
St. mary's School,
Dadar (West),
Mumbai - 400 028.

Sub: Request to issue old newspapers for a project.

Respected Sir,

I, XYZ, of class VII-B would wish to request you to grant us permission to use old newspaper clippings from the Library for our English project.

The project aims at making us aware of various types of news articles, the language used in newspaper reports, and enable us to compare and see the changes that have taken place in terms of presentation and news that is printed. However, we do not have access to newspapers for the last five years.

It is, therefore, my humble request to you to allow us to make use of newspaper clippings for the last five years from the school Library. I assure you that the newspaper will be used in a responsible manner.

We intend to hold a 'Best Project' competition that will further boost students to put in their best and only your permission can help serve the purpose better.
Thanking you,

Yours truly,
XYZ
