Model Answer:
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Charley Sanders, and I am writing this letter to cancel my enrollment in a part-time course at your college which I was planning to take this coming summer. Please let me explain what prompted me to do this.
The course, in which I enrolled as a part-time student, is called “Digital Photography”, and it was to be finished within three months from the date of its commencement. To tell the truth, I was quite excited about completing this short course until my company asked me to work full-time this coming summer. In case you are wondering, I am currently working as a part-time employee at a ready-made garments factory as a Quality Assurance Associate, and if I start working as a full-time employee, I just will not have enough time to carry on with the course. In other words, a conflict in my schedule is what is forcing me to cancel this course.
But, the good thing is that I can book another course after my working hours, and if that is an option, I would be more than happy to be enrolled in a computer networking course.
Thanks for being so understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Charley Sanders
