Dear Mrs Okamata,

2015 Bournvita Essay Competition

I wish to request permission to participate in the Bournvita. Essay Competition. I am a primary four pupil in your school and I have attempted two essay competitions and won first and second prizes in both.My reason for wishing to take part in the Bournvita competition is because I find the conditions for the competition very challenging.

I think it will give me an opportunity to develop some creative skills as I prepare for the competition.

I look forward to a favourable response from you.

Yours sincerely,(Please include a signature here)
