Subject: Application for improving facilities in Computer Lab (No Full-stop)

Dear Sir,
I, on behalf of the students of your college, have the honor to remark that a computer lab was set up last
year in order that we could acquire technological knowledge besides our syllabus-oriented studies. We
had been quite enthusiastic since the inauguration of the lab. However, it is a matter of regret that the
lab has some limitations, which we expect to be fixed. In fact, the lab is too congested to accommodate
the large number of students. Also, the number of computers is really insufficient and some of those
often remain out of order. Moreover, a multimedia projector is a must in a computer lab, without which
we can barely understand the demonstrations.
Hence, it is our earnest request to you for your kind consideration to the issue concerned.

Yours obediently/ Sincerely Yours,

ABC
On behalf of the students of class XI

Q. Write an application to the Principal to provide multimedia facilities in classrooms.

XYZ Degree College
Dhaka-1000

Subject: Application for Multimedia Facilities in Classrooms

Dear Sir,
It is to notify you with due honor that our classrooms need to be equipped with multimedia setup on
account of several strong reasons. You are aware that our class duration is limited and the teachers can
barely clarify the topics properly within this short period. If we have multimedia projectors and
loudspeakers in our classrooms, the teachers can demonstrate the study materials through slide
presentations, which makes our learning process smooth, less time consuming and pleasant. Like
everything else, teaching and learning procedures have also been developed all over the world as a
result of technological advancement and we can effectively implement technology in our classrooms to
attain maximum benefit. Ours is a reputed institution with outstanding results and we believe that our
results will be far better if we can afford multimedia facilities in our classrooms.

Therefore, we modestly expect your considerate approach to the above-mentioned issue.

Yours obediently,
XYZ

Q. Write an application to the Principal of your college to set up an English Language Club.

12 July 2020
The Principal
XYZ College
Dhaka-1000

Subject: Application for setting up an English Language Club

Dear Sir,
Most respectfully, it is stated that we, the students of your college, feel a strong necessity to set up an
English Language Club in our college. We all know that English is the strongest means of verbal and
written communication all over the world and we cannot do without it for a single day. However, our
existing English curriculum deals with reading and writing skills only. It barely helps us to improve our
overall proficiency in English. Consequently, we are failing to perform well in our practical life. Thus,
we feel a great necessity to have an English Language Club in our college, which we believe, will help
us a lot to improve our overall English proficiency.
Hence, we humbly expect your generous attention to the above-discussed issue.

Yours sincerely,
XYZ
