Write an application to your Principal, requesting for a testimonial

Sir,

I passed my S.S.C. Examination last year from your school under Roll No. 2132 in the first division. My name appeared in the merit list. I won first prize in inter-school declamation contest and second prize in painting competition. There has never been a complaint against my character or conduct.

I shall feel highly obliged if you issue to me a character certificate highlighting the points mentioned by me above.

With deep regards,

(Date)

Yours obediently, X.Y.Z.
