Parent's Letter to Principal to Promote a Child to Next Class

A student may not be able to pass an examination due to some unavoidable circumstances even if he is a good student.

One of the most common reasons behind this is health problems. If the student was suffering from a critical disease, due to which he could not study for several months, then this can be brought to the attention of the Principal of the school, and his permission can be sought to be promoted to the next class.

Here is an example of an application letter from a parent with a request to promote his child to the next class due to genuine health reasons.
