Respected Sir,
I beg to state that I, Debasis Saha, am student of class VIII of your school. My father is a poor farmer. He is unable to buy the text books for me. I have no other means to get the books for my studies except requesting the school. I have secured good marks in all the subjects in class VII last year.
I, therefore, request you once again to provide me all the subject text books from school.
Yours faithfully,
Debasis Saha
