✍️ How to use this format

School applications follow a fixed formal layout: the receiver's designation and school address at the top, a one-line subject, a respectful salutation (Sir/Madam), one or two short body paragraphs stating the request and the reason, and a closing with your name, class and roll number. Principals read dozens of these — keeping yours to under a page makes approval faster.

Adapt the bracketed details, but keep the tone formal throughout: no contractions, no slang, and always state the exact dates or documents involved so the office can act without asking follow-up questions.
