Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your attention a scheduling conflict that caused me to miss the compulsory laboratory session for Chemistry 101 on 5 October 2023. The laboratory was scheduled at the same time as a mandatory tutorial for my core module, Mathematics 102, which I was obliged to attend. Consequently, I was unable to participate in the lab, which is essential for meeting the course requirements.
I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to the laboratory staff and my fellow students.
I kindly request that the laboratory be rescheduled to an alternative slot, or that an arrangement be made for me to complete the required practical work at another convenient time.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your favourable response.
Yours faithfully,
