Sports equipment in your school is dilapidated .Write an application to the principal regarding the supply of new equipment.

telo118 [61]

Dear Principal xyz,
I am not sure if you have noticed or not, but (school name)s sports equipment is completely dilapidated. I, as a student and sports player, am utterly concerned at the condition of the equipment. I’m terrified that one of the students here, or myself, are going to get injured while trying to do what we love. I am hoping that by bringing this to your attention, we could possibly find a way to work out a plan to receive new equipment. I personally believe that we, as hard working sports players, deserve that.
Thank you, kindly, for your time.
