Please let me know at your earliest convenience if my request for a continuance is approved or if any further information is required. I genuinely appreciate your attention to this matter, and I am confident that your decision will be in the best interest of justice. You're understanding and consideration in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention to this request.
