Explain why you took the job? Describe the problems that you encounter? Suggest what could be done about them?

Dear Mr. Wood,

I am Agnes Lam and my employee number is AL96522.From this year January, I have started to work at your convenience store as a part time employee since January. I am writing this letter intend to request your assistance to make a new arrangement of my working time.

Normally I am working at your store every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday afternoon from 1 pm to 4 pm. As you know, I am a university student at Western Australian University. According to new curriculum of my next semester, I would attend lectures on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Therefore, I am afraid that I would not be able to work on these two days. I was wondering if it is possible for you to arrange me to work on Tuesday and Friday afternoon. In order to support my living cost, I must continue to work on this job. Hence, it is incredibly important for me and I hope you could consider my situation and I would be mostly appreciative your assistance in this matter.

Yours faithfully,
Agnes Lam

Being a ??? year student at Western Australian University, I am required to maintain a certain percentage of attendance for my classes. However, I am now unable to attend the lectures falling on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

First, I have a small admin request for you. Please open all IELTS related topics in Writing Feedback forum. (I transferred this from Resume to Writing Feedback)Also, have a more meaningful topic for your essays.


This is an excellent suggestion by Pahan. You can now say;
Therefore I fear that I would not be able to maintain the required attendance level which is mandatory for the completion of my degree program.

thank you very much!!
