Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent announcement that the final examinations for the 2024/2025 session will be held on 20 October, a date that unfortunately coincides with a pre‑booked international flight I have secured since last year for a family emergency. The change places me in a dilemma, as I would be forced either to miss the examination or to forfeit the flight, both of which have serious academic and personal repercussions.
I apologise for any inconvenience my situation may cause.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,

In view of this, I kindly request that the university consider either an alternative examination slot for affected students or the possibility of a remote invigilation arrangement on that day. I apologise for any inconvenience my request may cause and assure you that I remain committed to fulfilling my academic responsibilities.
Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter.
