Formal Email Writing Practice

📧 Part 1: Model Email Example

Task: Write a formal email to your school principal with the subject "Request for a Change in School Lunch Menu Options"

Example Formal Email:

To: principal@greenvale.school.nz

From: sarah.jones@student.greenvale.school.nz

Subject: Request for a Change in School Lunch Menu Options


Dear Mr Thompson,


I am writing to respectfully request consideration for expanding our school lunch menu options to include more vegetarian and gluten-free choices.


Currently, many students with dietary requirements struggle to find suitable meal options in our canteen. I believe that adding more diverse menu items would benefit approximately 30% of our student body who have specific dietary needs or preferences.


Would it be possible to arrange a meeting to discuss this proposal further? I would be happy to present research on cost-effective menu options and student survey results.


Thank you for your time and consideration.


Yours sincerely,
Sarah Jones
