Dear Professor __________,
My name is Mirlinda Skara and i am in your Biology Lecture Hall on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-10. Unfortunately I could not make it on Monday to take the midterm exam due to getting severely ill. If it is possible I want to reschedule a date where I can make up this exam. If proof is needed a medical note can be supplied.
Thank you for your time. Take care.
Sincerely,

Dear Professor ______,
Hello, this is Weizing Lee from your ___ class. I’m very sorry I could not make it to Wednesday’s class to take the midterm exam scheduled that day. I was not feeling well and had to go to the doctor’s for a checkup. If possible, I would gladly appreciate if you could meet with me after tomorrow’s class to discuss a time in which I could make up this exam. I will bring in a doctor’s note as proof and I look forward to seeing you then. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my email. Have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Weizing Lee
Dear Professor,
Lately I have been having trouble with the homework you assigned us for the next class. I have been reading the textbook and also searching on numerous databases but I am still not understanding this one topic. I have been following through on what you have been teaching us in class but this assignment is much more difficult. I have gone through each step precisely but the answer still seems to come out wrong. If possible, could you further explain how to solve problems during your free hours? I would like to be on track with each topic to receive a high grade.
Much regards,
Daniel Yu
I think my close family and friends would say that I am outgoing. I am so outgoing when I am around people who I feel comfortable with. It is sometimes quite crazy how hyper I can be! I make faces, joke around and act silly because I love making people laugh. Being sweet and kind isn’t always enough; sometimes humor is good for the soul. I believe that people should be outgoing and sociable. Although I tend to contradict myself by presenting myself as a shy person to new people, I strongly believe that it is essential to be outgoing and alive in the spirit. Baruch is a new school and I am still getting used to the idea of meeting new people. I guess it is because I have a lot of friends here at Baruch who I already knew for a few years; I hang out with them all the time. I guess I am still in my “comfort zone” right now and feel comfortable with the people I already know. But, I enjoy spending my free time hanging out with those who I don’t get to see every day and who I have known for a long time. I feel that I can be myself without any worries. I also enjoy going spending time outdoors. I cannot stand being stuck inside the house doing nothing. I like to try different things, go different places and keep myself busy. I do not have the patience to sit in the house all day and watch tv. Even if it is raining and I have nothing to do, I will still leave the house. Sometimes I just go to the upermarket and roam around to keep my mind going.
My favorite thing to do is play my guitar. It all started about a year ago when I had this random epiphany that I wanted to be a guitar rock star. I guess it was because of my favorite band, Weezer who I had discovered a few months before that. I started getting into the alternative rock sound and became obsessed with guitars. I loved rocking out to the sound of the guitar which eventually inspired me to pick up a one. Motivated to teach myself, I went on a hunt for an inexpensive guitar, not knowing if I was even going to like the instrument. I ended up on the Target website, found a $100 acoustic guitar and ordered it. It was that simple. Surprisingly the guitar that arrived a few days later was beautiful and actually sounded great considering it was cheaply priced. I began
teaching myself and within 2 weeks I was already playing the basic chords of songs. I have continued to teach myself and have expanded my knowledge thanks
to the kind people on Youtube. I play all kinds of songs now from rock, pop to even country (surprisingly). There is still so much more to learn, but now I
feel comfortable playing many songs on the guitar. I don’t have to look or think about the notes; it comes naturally. I just could close my eyes, play and sing along to the songs I love. I love music so much.
“Why are you always so happy?” is a very common comment people say to me after they first met me. I find this really hilarious because I never thought so. Like I can be happy, but no one can be happy all the time. Then the funny thing is when I’m not happy once in a blue moon, people just assume I’m either mad at them or being mean. I think that’s just ridiculous. It’s not my fault that once out of 365 days I’m unhappy, I’m grumpy, or just simply annoyed. I also hate it when people hit me on the head. I know that’s random, but ohmygoodness it annoys me so much and I see it as a sign of disrespect. Just how I hate it when people just tell you a few hours before you are suppose to meet them up when we planned an event or something a week ago. I just really don’t like people informing me last minute about things they could’ve told me days ago.
I was always the kid that was well taken care off, never had to life a finger kind of daughter. However, when my parents disagreed, it made me realize how I wasn’t my own independent individual. It made me think, what am I going to do when I grow up, How am I going to take care of myself when my parents aren’t going to take care of everything for me. It made me realize I cant always depend on other people, I need to depend more on myself. You probably won’t even understand the how many arguments I had to have with them to get a job. The good news is, I got a job, the bad news is it took me a year of convincing. Sad right? i guess this job was to also show people that I’m not just a spoiled kid who doesn’t have to work for anything. I know I am a hard working. Now I can say, I’m 18 years old and I had 2 jobs already. Every day, I’m just like I am so happy to have some kind if working experience, mostly in this kind of economy right now.
I am also a big fan of shopping. I could walk from Canal st all the way up to Bleecker just so I can shop at all my favorite go-to stores to pick out my favorite clothes. I don’t feel like its necessary to spend a whole load of money on clothes or shoes because I like changing my outfits a lot and I don’t like to wear the same thing a lot. Like my dress, if i ever worn them to an event don’t expect to see me in it again. I like having many,many, many different types of shoes. You can already tell that I like to have different options…as many as possible. Bag included, unless they’re brand names. I am always going to match my bag accordingly with the clothing I am dressed in for that day.
Dear Professor,
My name is Victoria Podlubny and I am in your biology class mw 11:00-12:00. I am writing to request another day that I may take the mid-term. I was very sick with strep throat and could not make it to class on the day of the exam. I would be prepared to take the exam anytime within this week. I am able to provide a medical note if necessary. Thank you very much for your time.

Dear Professor (Name),
As I was going through the notes of this semester that has just passed, I saw many things that brought back memories we have shared over the past few months. I saw the many different texts I have read that have bolstered your lectures, the assignments I have done, and could not help but notice that if I am not mistaken, the grades would culminate into an average in the neighborhood of an A-, possibly even an A. While I had gotten the B- and accepted it, looking back at the syllabus I can’t help but think that there is the possibility I have earned something just a bit higher. I understand that a man/woman such as yourself is truly busy, but if you could take the time to delve into this manner with me, I would be truly grateful for your generosity.
Sincerely, Matthew Gottesman
Dear Professor English,
I am sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to ask you a question the homework assignment that you have assigned the class a few days ago. I am having a lot of trouble understanding how to formulate a thesis statement for my essay. I know that we are supposed to take a position on the topic and develop an arguable statement, but I am having trouble actually expressing my ideas. I wanted to know if you can take a moment after class to sit and explain in more detail what you told the class. Would you be able to help me express my ideas more clearly? Let me know when you are available. I want to succeed and do well in your class. Thank you!
Thanks,
Francesca LoGiudice
Dear Professor,
After careful examination, the grade I have recieved in your course has come to my attention. I am a student from your Tuesday 8:40 class. After gathering all my exams and other graded material, I calculated what my grade for the course should be and it resulted that I should be recieving a A instead of a B for your class. If possible, I would like to be able to discuss this matter further at your convenience, it would be greatly appreciated. If necessary I shall schedule an appointment or please notify me what would better suit you.
Your time is much appreciated,
Catherine Cespedes
