Subject: Request for a Fee Waiver
Hello, Sir
I am Nithin Raam, a Class VIII C student. My brother attends the same school and is in first grade. My father makes between 7,000 and 9,000 per month as a day wage worker. I wanted to know if there was any chance for my brother and I to receive a complete fee concession because it has been very tough for the two of us to pay the tuition. Since I've always gotten outstanding grades, I don't want anything to stop me from continuing my education. If there are any scholarships available that will pay for all of my college costs, please let me know. Please take my case into account, I beg of you.
I appreciate your thoughts and time.
my heartfelt thanks,

short paragraph in about 80 words on Diwali:
My favourite festival is Diwali. It is known as the festival of lights and is observed nationwide. People clean their homes and businesses and get them painted white a few days before Diwali. People adorn their homes during Diwali. Lamps are lit in every hamlet, town, and city on the night of Diwali. Earthen lamps, candles, and electric bulbs are used to illuminate all the homes, businesses, and structures. Children move around while dressed to the nines. Sweets and presents are traded. Children spend cash on things like candy, games, and crackers. The goddess of wealth, "Laxmi," is worshipped at night. Diwali is a joyous holiday. Everyone is joyful on this day.
