The Principal,

Lucknow. |

Dear Madam,
You Will Be Happy To Know That I Have Cleared Class X Of The Indian School Certificate Examination (ICSE) From The Peace International School With 96% Marks This Year. |
| I Desire To Continue My Studies In The Same School. This Is Not Only Because It Provides Continuity But Also, Because Peace International School Is A Unique School. It Lays Emphasis On Spiritual Values And Peace Education, Besides Academics, Sports And Dramatics. The School Also Gives Students An Opportunity To Participate In International Events Which No Other School In Lucknow Does. |
My Parents And Teachers Have Advised Me To Opt For The Commerce Stream For Which I Wish To Apply. I Assure You That I Will Work Hard And Will Put In My Best To Bring Laurels To My Institution.
|
| I Request You To Kindly Allow Me To Pursue My Studies In Your Esteemed Institution For Another Two Years. I Look Forward To Your Prompt Reply. |
| |
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,
Rashmi Sinha. |
