After greetings,
Emad Al-Sahir has requested to ⟦perform⟧ his exams by postponing his upcoming examinations
at this school due to illness, and since the management of this school
is keen to ensure that examinations proceed in an orderly manner so that a student
faking illness cannot evade the examinations and postpone his exams for incorrect
purposes only, therefore we request that you examine the aforementioned student and inform us of what is necessary in this regard.
