Hello Professor,

I didn’t pass your course because I missed two exams. Is it possible for you to give me a task to complete instead of these exams? I know my request might be impossible, but please consider what you can do for me because things are not easy for me.

Hello Student,

I have read your email several times since you sent it to me after your final exam that you arrived late for. You have made things uneasy for me, too, young man. And I think you know how this ends and what my response needs to be.
