Dear Sir: [or
Madame – preferably use last name with Mr./Mrs./Ms.]

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the
excellent education I am receiving at [INSERT
NAME OF SCHOOL]. The knowledge and
skills I am learning here are preparing me well for the future.

I recently learned that the calendar used in the
Bible was a different method of time-keeping from the modern civil calendar now
in use. I have studied this topic
exhaustively because of the impact upon [my
job as well as] my schooling. Based
on my research, I believe it is my duty to worship by the the Biblical calendar on Scripture’s holy
days. These include the weekly
seventh-day Sabbaths, the monthly New Moons and four additional religious days
throughout the year.

The impact on school comes from the fact that months
on the Biblical calendar begin with the New Moon. The weekly cycle also restarts with each new
moon. Therefore, the weekly Sabbath
seems to “float” through the continuous weekly cycle of the Gregorian civil
calendar used by [INSERT NAME OF SCHOOL].

Sometimes my Sabbaths fall on the weekend. However, much of time I will need to miss one
day of school a week. Included is a
calendar marked with the days I need to be absent. I cannot take final exams on those days,
either. I would take full responsibility
to obtain any lecture notes missed as well as homework assignments and their
due dates. I am committed to being an
excellent student as well as an obedient Biblical Christian.

In business, as well as government, accommodation
for religious differences has been provided.
I am respectfully asking that this same accommodation be extended to me
for my education. I sincerely hope that
an arrangement can be made. The
education I am receiving here is a blessing for which I am very grateful.

Sincerely yours,
