Dear [Teacher's Name],
I am writing to formally request to drop French class from my schedule this semester. The reason for my request is that I am struggling to keep up with the course material and am not making the progress that I had hoped for. Despite my best efforts, I have found that French is not a good fit for me and that I would be better served by focusing on other subjects.
I understand that dropping a class mid-semester can have consequences, and I am willing to accept any academic penalties that may result. However, I believe that this decision is in my best interest and will ultimately lead to better academic performance in the long run.
I would like to thank you for your time and consideration of my request. I would be happy to discuss this matter further if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
