Dear Sir.
REQUEST FOR A STANDARD LIBRARY IN MY SCHOOL
I am writing on behalf of the entire student body requesting for a standard library for our school.
First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank the board for all the assistance they have been rendering to our school. Every student in the school appreciates you and I believe that we are proud of being associated with you. It is our belief that you will not relent in your efforts to give the school the best it needs to keep the flag of this great institution flying.
The effort you put up to meet our need for a school bus still remains evergreen in our memory. We are grateful for it and there is no place we get to with the school bus that our school is not respected.
However, this time around. we need a standard library in our school. As our beloved parents, we trust you to give us the best so that we can continue to do everything possible to ensure that we continue to put in our best in ensuring that this school has the best result every year.
Sir, you will agree with me that the importance of library in a school such as ours cannot be over-emphasized. Firstly, it will curb the habit of students roaming the school during their free periods. With the library built, no student will have the excuse for roaming the school premises. I know that the students will prefer to make use of the library adequately.
Secondly. the present age of technology calls for adequate information and knowledge to keep on updating our awareness on what is obtainable in the present age. We need standard textbooks on all the subjects offered in the school and computers so as to make the students computer literate. We would ever be grateful if you could provide the school with computers as one of the materials we need in the library. I want to assure you that if the school is provided with a well-equipped library, it will become one of the best schools in the country.
In addition. provision of a well-equipped library in our school will further improve the reading culture which the school administration is recently trying to inculcate in us. You will agree with me that if the school is provided with a library, students will no longer have any excuse whatsoever not to go there to borrow books and novels which they can read.
We know that it will cost a lot of money to build the library but we have no other Board of Governors that we can ask to provide a library for us. We believe that you and other members of the board can build the library and equip it for the school.
We would ever be grateful if the request could be granted.
Yours faithfully,
(Signature)
