Dear Dr……
My name is(name ) a student in your(name)class, and I am hereby writing this email to express some unexpected inconveniences I have had regarding completing the first assignment of the course. I have been very enthusiastic about completing the course and all the syllabus requirements successfully, but the Covid-19 menace has brought a very devastating hitch to my objectives. Recently, I flew to my native country ( name ) for a vacation, and I expected to return and resume all classes, but unfortunately, my air ticket was canceled due to the cessation of traveling, which is happening globally. This scenario has inconvenienced my school work critically, but I am ready to catch up with the other learners.
The cancellation of the air ticket was unforeseeable and unexpected, and this is the reason I had not made any prior plans to travel earlier. In light of the challenges I have faced and the zeal I have to complete the course, I am humbly requesting you give me an extension for the first assignment so that I can work and submit it. I am also requesting you to allow me to liaise with other students so that I can join a group so that we can together complete the next tasks. If possible, you can assign me a group by yourself, and I will be really grateful. Kindly consider my requests, and I will be glad to get back on track in completing the course.
Sincerely
Name.
