The Registrar
Examination Branch
CBSE
Delhi

Dear Sir/Madam,

Subject: Inquiry about the roll number card for class XII board examination

This is to inform you that I have not received my roll number card for the forthcoming Class XII board examination. The examinations are scheduled from March 14, 2013 and the roll number is generally expected to be received one month prior to the examination.

As all the students of my class have already received their respective roll number cards, I am afraid that my card has not been issued or has been misplaced during the delivery process.

I, therefore, request you to kindly issue my roll number card for the forthcoming examination without which I will be debarred from sitting in the examination. I am furnishing my details for your kind consideration.

Rakesh Sharma

Class roll no. - 35,

Yours truly,
Rakesh Sharma
