Dear Mr. Adeyemi,
I am writing on behalf of the Senior Student Council to bring to your attention the recent water‑quality report which indicates that the drinking water supplied to our school contains elevated levels of contaminants. Research consistently shows that poor water quality can lead to increased absenteeism and reduced concentration among pupils, ultimately affecting academic performance.
The council has identified a practical solution: the installation of eight water‑filtration units, each priced at ₦12,500, giving a total cost of ₦100,000. We propose that this amount be drawn from the school's discretionary fund. The units are low‑maintenance and will provide safe drinking water for both students and staff.
I would be grateful if we could arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss the procurement process and implementation timetable. Your support in safeguarding the health of our school community is greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
