For the past few weeks, we have been on the subject of resume.
We will give that a rest now and move on to other kinds of letters you may want to write.
Making requests is a common letter, and it is easy to write.
For brevity, only the body of the letter is given here:

Thank you in advance. I would appreciate and look forward to your reply.
