Respected Sir,
With due regret I would like to state that as there is a death of a close family member and I’m in a state of mourning, it will not deem fit of me to attend the Annual College Function, which I was hoping to enjoy and preparing to participate in some of the events. The sudden turn of events has completely shaken me up so badly, that as best I cannot bring myself to terms under such adverse situations. I hope your good self will try to understand my mental agony and grant me the permission of my absence.

Yours Obediently,
