RE: [Child’s Name], Request for Evaluation

Dear Sir/ Madam:

My name is Mark J. Roberts , and I am writing to you because my child, [Child’s Name], who is in [grade #] grade, is experiencing difficulties at your school.

Please send me any written information you have about this process.

Sincerely,
