On the next day, we observe Holika Dahan in our courtyard, which is attended by our close family members and neighbors. Whereas, on the day of Holi, we prepare special meals, play colors, entertain guests, and distribute sweets to celebrate the festival of colors. I understand that missing school days can cause me to fall behind in my studies. I assure you that I will catch up on any missed work as soon as possible. I will also be sure to complete any assignments given before the leave and collect notes from my classmates upon my return. Thank you for considering my request. Yours sincerely, Nikita Class 9 A Roll No. 24 |
