Dear father,
I am ashamed to tell you that my performance at the
Terminal Examination was pretty unsatisfactory. I have failed in English and
Mathematics and barely scraped through in Science, Hindi and Marathi. Only in
Social Studies have I managed to secure 75%.
I know this will depress you a lot. The reason why I have
fared so poorly is my overconfidence. I assumed I knew all my subjects quite
well. Even while attempting the paper, I was rather casual. It was only when
the teachers returned my papers after correction that I realized how careless I
had been. I am guilty of having committed silly spelling errors and making
hasty calculations.
All this has come as a tremendous shock to me, and I am
determined that there shall be no repeat performance. I know you will be very
upset, but do forgive me this time.
I assure you that I shall never let you down again.
Your loving daughter,
PQR
