Write a letter to the Principal of your school, requesting him to give you a testimonial

To

The Principal, Ideal School, Grant Road, Mumbai.

I was a student of your school. I passed the S.S.C. Examination this year, securing 60% marks. As I intend to apply for the post of a clerk in the Reserve Bank, I need a testimonial from you.

I was the editor of the School Magazine for two years. I used to take part in debates, and bagged the first prize in the Tilak Memorial Elocution Competition held last year. May I request you to mention, among other things, my participation in these extra-curricular activities?

Yours faithfully,

XYZ
