Application : To the Principal requesting to arrange a study tour

To the Principal of your college, requesting him to arrange a study tour

The Principal,
Quaid-i-Azam College,
Karachi.
April 10, 2014

Sir,

I, on behalf of the students of History of the Second Year Class of your college, beg to submit that we propose to go on a study tour and intend to visit the important places of historical interest of Moen-jo-Daro. Book knowledge is often half knowledge and theoretical in nature. Our knowledge shall always remain incomplete unless we see them with our own eyes and examine them closely. This requires the undertaking of a study tour on our part, but this cannot immaterialize unless you are graciously pleased to arrange it.

First of all this requires your kind permission. Then, again, there is the question of money for meeting the expenditure to be incurred in this connection. And lastly, we are in need of a teacher who is capable of guiding us in the tour.

All these depend on you. I would, in the circumstances, most respectfully request you kindly to permit us to undertake the tour. You are also requested to sanction Rs. 1000/- out of the College Fund and spare a Professor of the Department of History to lead our tour.

We shall be much obliged if you kindly help us to undertake this study tour which is our long-cherished desire.

Yours obediently,
XYZ
