1、Dear Coach,I am writing this letter to request that you please consider giving me another chance to make the school basketball team. I realize that team trials ended last Thursday and I know that you have picked the starting line-up, but I believe I deserve another chance and that I could make a pos

All that I am asking is that you give me the chance to attend four more practices to make up for the ones that I missed. Then you can decide whether I belong on the team or not. I will accept your decision.Yours truly,Joseph Liu
