Respected Graduate Studies Office,
We are writing this letter to request an extension in the deadline for submitting our Master thesis. The date for submission is July 7, 2021, but we still have some writing work pending and fear that we will not be able to complete it within the original time frame.
Kindly consider our personal circumstance of Corona virus disease (COVID-19);we are unable to collect primary data as we’d planned because of strict Covid-19 protocols and safety issues in different organizations and in the city. This causes for the delay of data collection or fieldwork. Questioners and interviews are extended by different sources and which slowed us down to finish our thesis. In Addition to this security issues in some areas of the country also challenges some student’s data collection activities.
Kindly consider the following unusual circumstances why we could not complete our research on time: At this stage in the research we are considering filling a patent file before we submit the thesis to the external reviewer only we need few weeks.
Considering our problem, kindly grant us an extension of few weeks only for submitting the thesis. We assure you that we will complete and submit our thesis well before the revised deadline.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours Sincerely,

I really started this out of a personal sense of frustration and I am stunned by how many of you are facing the exact same roadblocks. The university has not replied to us yet but seeing your stories in the comments reminds me that we are right to ask for this time. It feels like we are all navigating these obstacles together now.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you stepped up to back this request. This momentum belongs entirely to the rest of you who recognized how difficult these past few months have been for us researchers. I am just humbled to be a part of such a supportive group.

The deadline for submission of the thesis paper is very short considering the COVID-19 case and other causes that are impacting our work.
I would like to request an extension for one month only. Appreciated your consideration
Please consider the current situation of the pandemic most of us engaged at national mission to control the pandemic
To finalize the thesis properly it is better to extend the dead line for some weeks Thank u
The deadline is very shortened compared to the added assignment on our thesis project. In addition the data collection makes the process not to meet deadlines, thus extending the deadline would be much appreciated to produce most delinquent project work.

Thank you it is a great and formal request method. But the written deadline in the petition says July7 but it is June 7. If You can edit it it will be great.
