Respected Sir,

I am the Father of Shivani Joshi in your school. We got her admitted to the school 6 months back in 3rd grade. Yesterday she came back home with a certificate of participation which had her name as Shinavi Jay. It was confusing so we checked on the school and confirmed that the school record had her name incorrect t this whole time and now her certificates also have the wrong name on them which can later create problems identifying when she gets admitted to other schools/ colleges. I would request you to kindly correct her name in the school records so that all the documents created for her from now on have the correct name on them to be used by her when needed. Thanks.

      Respected Headmistress,

      It is kindly stated that I am a student of this prestigious school and studies in 9 th grade. Recently, I passed my 8 th grade and the result card mentioned my father’s name different as it is. I thought to address this problem as soon as possible. I observed that it is maybe a faulty error which has caused this because as I remember, that I informed and wrote correct name of my father while taking admission in your respective school. I humbly request you to please ask your administration to change my father’s name from “David” to “Mathew Jonas”. As you know that father’s name in education document is very important and it becomes your whole identity. Therefore, please change my father’s name from the record of school and also rectify the name from result card. I would highly appreciate if it is done as early as it could be because I cannot participate in extracurricular activities of school; the certificated issued to me would have same problem.
      Thank you.
