Lease extension letter format

Lease means a contract by which one party conveys land, property, services, etc to another party for a specified time usually in return for a periodic payment. In this lease, a specific period is mentioned and the tenant should return that property to the landlord when the specific time is over. Sometime, the lease may be extended by the wish of landlord or tenant.

The landlord or tenant, whoever, to extend the lease might write a letter and tell the terms and conditions regarding the rent and extension time. If the landlord wants to extend the lease, he will give the extended time period, the rise or same rent and may give some extra conditions such as not allowance of pets, etc.

If the tenant wish to extend the lease period, he will then write the letter to the landlord by polite and good way. He will request the landlord to extend the lease so that only the landlord will accept the extension. Otherwise, the extension letter will be rejected by the landlord if he is not interested to continue the agreement.

The extension letter must be written atleast 30 days before the expiry date of lease. But writing the lease extension letter before 60 days is very much better, why because the changes sometimes were made in the letter based on the wishes of both tenant and landlord. Learn below the sample letter format for the same.

Children's day speech for school students and teachers

Children are the big asset of a nation. They build better future than the one before. Children day is celebrated on 14th November every year. This year, it is coming on 14th November 2017, the birth day of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, a leader and Ex-Prime Minister our country India. If you would like to deliver a speech on your school function / assembly, you may then take the sample speech provided below to deliver a good and effective speech.

Sample Children's day speech for students and teachers

Respected Principal, Headmasters, Teachers, Parents and my dear all students,
A very good morning to one and all! We are here gathered to celebrate one of the most auspicious occasion of India's festival, the Children day! This is special day for you all and me. We should proud of having the day that God given to us. This special day is meant for children. The birth day of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru also lovingly called as Chacha / Uncle, is celebrated as the Children day of India. He showed his extreme love to all children during his life span that is why the day was converted as Children day. He always has the habit of having a rose in his pocket. So children gifted him rose. When we see rose, we will think of him. Also the rose is the symbol of love that is why lovers are using the rose to gift to his / her lover.

Looking at the history of uncle Nehru, he was born on 14th November 1889 to the couple of Motilal Nehru and Swarup Rani. His father Motilal Nehru was a famous leader and lawyer. His sister Bijaylaxmi Pandit was also a great diplomat of our country India. His daughter Indira Gandhi was our first woman Prime Minister. He is also one of the freedom fighters of our nation against British Govt. He was kept in prison during the freedom fight. From the jail itself, Chacha / Uncle Nehru wrote a letter to his daughter Indira. The letter is popularly known as "Letters from a Father to His Daughter" . It is worth reading. We all must read this book apart from our regular text book and other books of story. We can buy this book or read from local library / school library. If it is not available in the school library, our respected Principal should consider bringing this book to the school library as soon as possible. He wrote many other books too. 

On this day, we should take oath to take care of our beloved children by showing them great love. We should direct our children to grow up in right direction with love. Let's all love the children, save them and build the way to create bright future for India. Jai Hind! Thank you all!

Write a letter to the editor of newspaper

Letters to the editors

The salutation in letters to the editor is Sir and the ending Yours truly. The matter has to be precise and at the same time self-explanatory. As the letter is meant to be read by people with varying backgrounds, the writer should not expect that the reader would know a lot about the subject. The letter should make sense even to a person who does not know much about the subject.

Although the newspapers publish only the name of the writer, complete address should be given in the letter. If, for some reason, writers do not want to have their name published, they may give a suitable alternative like 'An applicant', 'A student' or 'A businessman'. But even then the writer name and complete address should be given in the letter. Remember that no respectable newspaper will publish an anonymous letter.

Sample Letters to the Editor of newspaper about noise pollution by use loudspeakers- Example 1

To
The Editor
"Indian Express"
Coimbatore

Sir,
The school year is fast coming to a close and children are busy preparing for their examinations. But unfortunately the use of loudspeakers is causing a lot of disturbance to the students. In several parts of the city, loudspeakers are used throughout the night. It is high time that this should be stopped. The authorities should grant permission for using loudspeakers only for essential purposes and that too for limited hours.

Yours truly,

Sample Letters to the Editor of newspaper about Development of Education- Example 2

88 A Rani Ammai Street
Rayapettai
Chennai
November 11, 2017

To
The Editor
"The Hindu"
Chennai

Sir,
It has been reported in the papers that Government is thinking of abolishing the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) and merging it with the Directorate of Higher Education (DHE). This is an ill-conceived move. It is wring to imaging the Director of Higher Education will be able to improve the standards of Technical Education. 

The DHE is already overburdened with the task of managing the hundreds of arts and science colleges in the State. In fact, the way the DHE has been managing the colleges leaves much to be desired. 

In a developing country like India, greater emphasis has to be laid on the quality of technical education as the country's future depends to a large extent on those coming out of the technical institutions. The need of the hour is to improve the standards of technical education. This can be done only by strengthening the Directorate of Technical Education.

We hope the Government will drop any move to abolish the DTE and think in terms of strengthening the office by bringing in experts in the various areas of technical education.

Yours truly,
Dr.D.Jezlin
