Sample 1 – School Withdrawal Letter
Dear [Name of Principal],
This letter is to inform you that I need to withdraw my child [Name of Child] from your private school due to personal hardship. On [Date], my husband who was paying for our child’s education died of heart failure. I have enclosed the medical documents and death certificate.
His death has left us without means of financial support, so I need to find employment as soon as possible.
My husband’s life insurance policy was enough to cover the mortgage of our home, but I need to work to pay for food, clothing and other things.
I have enclosed the withdrawal forms required by your school. Since the semester started only two weeks ago, I am within the time limit, according to school policy, to receive a full refund for this semester’s fees.
If you have any questions or need more information I can be reached at 555-123-4557 or at lisa@email.com.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Signature
