SUBJ: BUS 1010 SECT 9: Notification of permanent removal from class

Dear Professor Tumblin,

I'm currently in your BUS 1010 class on Friday at 9AM. Due to recent issues financially, I will be removing myself from this university permanently. As a result, I will no longer be a student under your instruction. I will be officially leaving the university on April 9th. This is a personal decision and in no way reflects my feelings toward you or the university as a whole. I hope that you understand the terms in which I have decided to leave. I am happy to answer any questions you may have for me and agree to complete the assignments until my departure.

Sincerely,
Devin Ostermann

SUBJ: College Updates

Hi Mom & Dad,

Recently, I have been having issues adjusting to life in college. The decision to leave Virginia was a difficult one for me as I'm sure you remember. I think that my decision was prematurely made and unfortunately, I regret coming to Clemson. As a result, I will be dropping out after this semester. I plan to take a year off and attend community college back home before making my next step to a college in Virginia. I have been considering dropping out since the beginning of second semester and have made a plan for my living arrangements and lifestyle changes after I leave Clemson. This decision was extremely difficult for me and I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I would appreciate your full support during this confusing and stressful time. Please call me when you get this so we can discuss it further.

Love,
Devin

SUBJ: I GOT TO MEET CHANNING TATUM!

Ok, so I didn't meet Channing Tatum, (sorry) I just wanted you to actually open this email because who actually emails their friends?

Krissy I have SO much to tell you.. I finally dropped out and I'm SO excited to be back home! Clemson just wasn't the school for me. It was super hard to keep up with my work and I didn't feel like I fit into the typical crowd there. I'd rather just go somewhere near home and not be in debt for the rest of my life at a school I only halfway like.. anyways call me ASAP!! I want to hear your updates too. :) Love you twinsey!! <3

XO,
Dev


An email I've sent to a professor previously ---->

SUBJ: Dig Pitch/Exam time conflict
Hello,

I'm in your MWF macroeconomics class and I noticed an issue with the time the class is scheduled to take the final exam. 

I own a small jewelry business, Devin Ashton Designs, and have been invited to pitch my business in front of possible investors as well as well known business professionals and seasoned entrepreneurs. My creative inquiry instructor directed me to the opportunity and believes that I have a very good shot at winning the pitch. In winning the pitch I would receive prize money that would be extremely helpful in growing my business and taking it to the next level. 

The event, Dig South Wild Pitch, takes place May 1st in Charleston at 11:00 AM. I planned on traveling down the night before and taking part in other activities in the conference before pitching on Friday at 11. The issue is that I'm supposed to be taking your macroeconomics exam at 3PM that same Friday. Since the event is in Charleston I won't be able to make it back in time for the exam. 

This pitch is an incredible opportunity for both me and my business and if there is any possible way to reschedule my exam to an earlier date I would greatly appreciate it. 

Please let me know if this is possible. 

Thank you,

--
