Subject: Personal Reasons
Dear Dean Worthington,
Thank you—and your wonderful staff—so much for selecting me as one of the scholars in your amazing writing program.
Over the past several months, I’ve learned more than I ever imagined possible, and I truly believe my writing has grown at a pace I never thought it could.
That said, due to personal reasons, I must immediately withdraw from the final six weeks of the program. I know this may affect my chances of being considered for the final ranking or scholarship opportunity, and I didn’t make this decision lightly.
I am including all my completed work and my final thesis in case the professors wish to review them. I am also providing the mailing address of a family member where, if possible, my belongings can be sent under the emergency-withdrawal clause in the program’s handbook.
A scanned check is attached to cover postage, and this address may be used again in the coming weeks should any final materials need to be shipped to me.
Thank you so much for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Audrey Parker
P.S. Please thank Professors Weiss and Mills for everything. I wish I’d had the words to finish this differently.
