Dear Professor Wiltingham,I hope your summer has gone well. As the coming school year approaches, I have deeply considered my future. Part of this included thoughts of attempting to becoming an animagus, when I am ready and have studied the subject to the best of my ability. This brings to the a request that I have for you. I would like to request to practice under your supervision once the school year had begun.
With Respect and Gratefulness,
Miss S. Whitledge
