When writing a permission letter for exam retake, it is important to be clear, polite, and respectful. You should mention the reason for needing a retake, the date of the missed or failed exam if possible, and politely request permission to sit for the exam again. Always keep the tone positive and professional. Avoid being unclear, too emotional, or missing out important details like your subject or exam name. Ending with a thank you shows respect and leaves a good impression.
