When writing an explanation letter to the principal for poor academic results, it's essential to maintain clarity, politeness, and honesty. Begin by addressing the principal respectfully, stating the student's name, class, and roll number. Clearly explain the reasons for the poor performance, such as illness or personal issues, without making excuses. Express remorse for the results and assurance of improvement in the future. End the letter with gratitude and obedience.
