SFU Withdrawal
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this letter to request a withdrawal for one semester. During my time at Simon Fraser University, I faced significant financial hardships and familial difficulties. At the time, I lived alone with my sister in Canada, who was in high school at the time. As my sister's main means of support, I had to work two part time jobs in order to ensure that we had food on the table and a roof over our heads. In addition to these difficult demands, I faced the challenges of attending university.
During this period, I was overwhelmed by financial and family obligations, making it difficult to take the time or be able to afford a visit a doctor or therapist. As a result, I have no therapist or medical documents to support my financial or family difficulties. I did not speak to the instructor, as I did not feel that he would understand my situation.
As a result of these difficulties and responsibilities, I had a great deal of trouble focusing on my school work. Eventually, these problems resulted in an academic standing was inadequate to proceed on to second year at Simon Fraser.
A major family problem also played a role in this my academic difficulties at the time. I will be happy to provide details of this issue if you contact me directly.
After failing to continue in my second year at SFU, I transferred to Kwantlen University College. During this time, I addressed many of my financial and family issues, and improved my academic standing. At Kwantlen, I maintained a B+ average, and took courses related to the requirements of linguistics at SFU.
A sincerely hope that you will understand my difficult situation, and allow me to withdraw from the whole semester. This retroactive withdrawal will give me a much appreciated opportunity to begin a new academic career at SFU. I truly appreciate your consideration of my application.
Sincerely

Linguistic relativity hypothesis argues that humans see colors less with their eyes than with their language. (Fountain, 1999) The linguistic relativity hypothesis is important to help in understanding the reasoning behind the way that thought processes develop with the different cultures. The thought processes determine how language comes about and the reasons that the same word can mean different things with different cultures. In the eyes of a linguist, colors are
The man claimed that he had not met either of the two landlords in person that he had been attempting to contact for application. Thus, the man began his pursuit into legal action under the terms of racial discrimination. The case, Johnson v.

A similar change occurred in British in which only stressed I and us were lowered and the lowering was caused by original long a and by the final -- a in Latin loanwords. This change is not Common Insular Celtic because it postdates raising in Goidelic and raising is not Common Insular Celtic sound change."

Unlike pure slang, folkloric words tend to be less mutable and plastic in use and structure, and may last for years within the region. However, drawing a specific distinction between folkloric and linguistic definitions of slang can result in hair-splitting, rather than truly useful dichotomies of meaning. For example, throughout several generations, children may use the same types of "specialized language" to refer to childhood pursuits, such as names for
