Email from Emma Olivea
Dear Professor Dunn,
This is Emma Olivea. I am from the department of Modern Languages. I am writing to request to miss your class. I have a conference presentation in San Diego this November, so, I cannot attend our Writing class at 4:10 pm on Nov. 14. I have attached my conference information in this email.
Thank you for your support. Let me know if you need any further information.
Best regards,
Emma
