With due respect, I am to submit that my father who is a State Government employee, has recently been transferred to Darjeeling. Under such circumstances, it is quite impossible for me to continue my studies here at your school any longer. I have no other relatives with whom I may stay here in Kolkata. I have therefore, no other alternative but to go with my family to Darjeeling to join a new school there.


Therefore, sir/madam, I shall be highly grateful if you be kind enough to issue me a Transfer Certificate at your earliest.

Thanking you,
