Dear Mr. Anderson, would be very upset if she knew I was communicating with you about her final grade. Her Dad took her away for the weekend and I just took a look at her grades. To be honest with you, she does need the A-I understand the position you are in. It seems so desperate to have her grade point hinge on two percent of a grade. The big picture, however, is that she has applied to a university (her dream school) and the school is waiting to see her first semester grades for this year. She did poorly during freshmen and sophomore years and is paying a heavy price this year. I do understand, by her own admission, that she crossed the line with you a few times. I am sorry about this. If there is anything you can do participation points? Extra Credit? Please let me know. Sincerely, Sarah's Mom, Mrs. Flesher write an email explaining why you can't change her grade or what she can do to change her grade.
