Sir,
I am A.B.C., studying in Std. X (Division B) in your school. My father has been transferred from Nashik to Nagpur for his job. Because of this, our whole family is moving there next month.
I need a school leaving certificate to take admission in a school in the new city. All my school fees have been paid and I have returned all the library books. A copy of the fee receipt is attached with this application.
I humbly request you to kindly issue my school leaving certificate at the earliest. I am sincerely grateful to you and all the teachers for the guidance I have received in this school.
Your obedient student,
(Signature)
A.B.C.
Std. X (Division B)
