Excuse Application to Principal

Honorable Sir,

It is respectfully stated that I have been a student in your school for the last 8 years. My name is Paul Smith and my roll number is 543-118. Yesterday the annual sports gala was held in the school. It had immense importance for the school. I was offered the lead role in a drama for the event due to which it was very important that I attend the event. Due to some urgent business I had at home, I was not able to attend the event and had to take a leave. My father met with a serious accident while he was coming back from another city on his business trip. Being the eldest among my siblings, I had to take care of themselves because all the family members were at the hospital to look after my father. I know the importance of my attendance at such an important event, but I had no other option and had to take an absence from school. 

I hope that my explanation for my absence will be able to help you in understanding the problem which I had to face. Therefore, it is respectfully stated that you please accept my apology. I shall be very thankful to you.

Yours Sincerely,
Paul Smith.
