[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [School Name] [School Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Excuse from Animal Dissection due to Medical Reasons Dear [Teacher/Principal/Administrator's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to inform you about a personal medical condition that necessitates my inability to participate in the animal dissection activity, as per the current curriculum at [School Name]. I kindly request an alternative assignment or accommodation that will allow me to meet the academic requirements without compromising my health condition. Due to medical reasons, I have been diagnosed with [Specify the medical condition]. This condition poses serious risks when exposed to animal tissues, chemicals, and preservatives commonly used during dissections. My doctors have advised me to refrain from any activities involving such exposure as it could potentially trigger severe allergic reactions and respiratory distress that may further escalate the existing medical condition. I understand the importance of the dissection exercise and the firsthand knowledge it provides. However, in order to ensure my safety and well-being, I would like to propose an alternative assignment or project that would allow me to gain a thorough understanding of the subject covered during the dissection. While I may not be able to physically participate, I am more than willing to collaborate with my peers, conduct extensive research, and present my findings in an alternative format that aligns with the learning objectives. I firmly believe that with your support and guidance, we can find a suitable solution that accommodates my medical condition while ensuring I attain the necessary knowledge and skills required by the curriculum. I am open to discussing and exploring any alternative options that are available, which could include virtual dissection experiences, research-based papers, or any other project-based assessment method that maintains the educational integrity of the course. Furthermore, I have attached medical documentation from my healthcare provider, summarizing my condition and restrictions. This should provide sufficient evidence for my inability to participate in animal dissections. I kindly request that all information shared remains confidential and limited to the relevant authorities involved in assessing my situation. I greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation throughout this process. Please let me know at your earliest convenience how we can proceed. I am available for a meeting or discussion to further clarify my situation and to finalize the necessary arrangements. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your positive response and working together to find a suitable solution. Yours sincerely, [Your Full Name]
