Sample Letter Of Request (Formal Letter)

Dear Mrs Phusuk,

I am writing this letter to share some of the improvement that I think would benefit the college cafeteria.

I realize that the college cafeteria has an incredible atmosphere and offers delightful and healthy food. I commend the hard work and effort of all the chefs and management for their endeavour to attend to the students who can be cranky and difficult to please. The management is doing an outstanding job in curtailing all excesses and making sure the cafeteria is in good shape and free of chaos.

Nevertheless, several students, including myself, believe that the food served in the cafeteria is costly. Our canteen charges 35-40rupees for lunch and this is extensively on the high side. There are a few other college canteens in the city that charges 15-20rupees

I think if this continues, students will promptly start to eat outside the campus due to the high price. I, on the other hand, would love to continue eating incredible dishes at our cafeteria. Therefore, I would like to recommend you publish an article about this matter, which will, in turn, help the canteen management become conscious of how pupils feel about their food price.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Marvin Devid.

Sample Letter Of request (Formal Letter)

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to request a change in the course which I am currently enrolled in at your college.

I am a first-semester undergraduate student in your college, I am currently studying Law having Criminal Law as my major, as it was my parents’ ambition to see me graduate as a Lawyer. I have been attending class regularly for almost a month.

Since my first class, I have been struggling with understanding all we have been taught in criminal law, and I thought the issue would be resolved as the class progresses. However, I still have difficulties comprehending the tactics and study text, hence I would like to change my course.

I will prefer to major in Business Law as my new option because I feel that studying business law will develop my writing, problem-solving and analytical skills, alongside strong communication, negotiation and presentations skills. I will also be able to develop the ability to interpret and explain complex information both verbally and in writing – a key attribute when in the world of business. My student ID is LC 0067 and my date of admission is 12 September.

I am looking forward to a favourable response from you.

Yours faithfully,
Sweeti Ankush.

Sample Letter Of Request (Formal Letter)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to claim my insurance for an item I lost while travelling during the holiday.

I lost my luggage which contained my clothes, shoes and an old family heirloom, a diamond-encrusted necklace to be precise. This luggage contained some other valuable things and vital documents. I have patronised your insurance service recently and my insurance number is 23567892.

I travelled to Maimi for the holiday and I remember picking up my luggage at the airport and putting it into the taxi I hired. It was a carnival period in Miami at that time, when the driver got to a certain point the street was full and there was a traffic jam, I alighted from the taxi and decided to enjoy the view. I offloaded my luggage and went around the carnival. I got so fascinated with the things I saw and dropped my luggage to take a picture when I finished and wanted to pick up my luggage it was nowhere to be found. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.

As per the travel insurance, I am entitled to receive the coverage of the lost items. I am not so disturbed about the clothes and shoes but I am worried about the necklace and documents in the luggage because the necklace is a rare piece and has been in my family for over 50 years. It is said to cost over half a million rupees. I would like to claim the necklace price as it was a very costly necklace. I would appreciate it if you could transfer the money into my account. I have attached a copy of my insurance certificate and a copy of my insurance payment history to this letter.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
David Hassan

Sample Letter of Request {Semi Formal Letter}

Dear Sir,

I hereby write this letter to change my working hours from full time to part-time. This is to enable me to further my studies.

I just picked up a full-time form with one of the universities around, precisely the University of Mumbai. Checking the time table for my lecture schedule, I discovered that my lecture days are majorly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

I will be studying Business management and I think it will go a long way to make my work more effective and I will also be able to handle more projects successfully if I acquire this knowledge and skills.

I will work on Tuesdays, Thursdays and will equally come in on Saturdays so I can finish my work for the week. I will work for long hours on these days to cover up for the missed days.

I would be grateful if you would allow me to work as a part-time staff member. Looking forward to a positive response from you. Thank you.

Yours Faithfully,
Ranju Gupta

Sample Letter of Request {Formal Letter}

Dear Sir,

The purpose of writing this letter to request you to install additional sports equipment in our locality for people between the age of 18 to 32 years.

Currently, the only sports available in our locality are draft and chess, which are mostly played and enjoyed by the elders. However, there are no sports facilities made available for young folks like myself.

I would request you to kindly consider constructing additional sporting infrastructures for games such as swimming pools, basketball, volleyball, badminton, cricket, football and lawn tennis which are more eligible for the youths. Also, I would petition you to establish favourable lighting facilities so we can play anytime.

These sports games are eligible for working people. By playing these sports, it does not only helps to decrease their stress level but can also help to keep them physically and mentally fit.I hope you will give my suggestions and will take necessary and quick action.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
Rohan Kumar

I hope you are well! I previously worked in your company as a branch manager and I performed all the tasks assigned to me with effectiveness and diligence. I have learnt so many wonderful things while working for you but I want to explore my potentials.

The deadline for submitting the letter is the 21st of April 2021. If this deadline is too soon and you are unable to provide a letter by that time, please let me know as soon as possible.
