A Request for More Time
Subject: Request for a One-Day Extension
Hello Professor Grant,
I’m writing about the research summary due tomorrow. While checking my sources, I discovered that one article did not support the point I had used it for.
I need to replace that source and revise the related paragraph. Would you allow me to submit the summary one day late?
I understand that the usual late policy may apply. If an extension isn’t possible, I’ll submit the work I have by the deadline.
Thank you for considering my request.
Best,
Maya Chen
