Dear Sir or Madam:
In the chance that this may be of concern, I am writing to you to explain why I chose to change my grading option from a letter grade to pass-fail for all of my classes during the summer of my junior year.
During that summer, my grandmother passed away. She was fighting a battle against cancer for the past few years and eventually could not hold on. For those months, I flew home from San Francisco to Los Angeles once a week to help my parents and siblings through our difficult situation. It was difficult for me to keep up with my courses, and I decided that the best option I had was to change my grading option. In hindsight, I should have taken the summer off entirely to spend time with my family.
In case this may have been considered, I wanted to explain my reasons during that semester. Please let me know if you have any questions.

On a second read...you use the word 'option' twice and it is too close together: "...best option i had was to change my grading option" and you also use the word difficult really close together as well "...through our difficult situation. It was difficult..."leeronalda wrote:Dear Sir or Madam:
