Respected Sir,
In the previous academic year I sent two letters
requesting in them the sending of the diploma for secondary studies
that belongs to me and I have not received it until now, I hope
that you send me the original "graduation certificate" if it is
in your possession, and that is because to complete the official transactions here
it is necessary for me to present the aforementioned document.
Thanking you for your kind cooperation, I remain,
Sincerely
⟦Devindra Talwar⟧
