Dear English 201 Teacher,

So... I don't know if you noticed, my dear English 201 teacher, but I wasn't in class last Tuesday. I don't really have a crazy good excuse for not being there, other than having a slight headache and a desire to sleep in a little later than usual. Anyway, on that day, I totally forgot but we had an assignment due. We had to annotate an article by Mark Twain called Corn Pone Opinions. Well, since I was not in class, I didn't turn it in and was expecting to receive a zero on the assignment. I had come to terms with this grade since it's one of the only things I've missed and I don't intend to let such a lapse on my part happen again.
Anyway, but the purpose of this post is not to apologize profusely or beg your pardon, but to ask you about something I noticed in the grade book when I looked over it today on that online sight all of us college students use to keep tabs on things (it's called I-learn) I noticed that rather than a big fat zero under that fateful assignment that I have not yet turned in, a better grade was posted. Not only did I get full credit for something that I did not do, but you gave me extra credit!!! Dearest English 201 teacher, how in the world did I get 107% on something I didn't even turn in!?!?
Not that I don't appreciate it, I would gladly love to take points for something that I didn't have to do, but I feel that it would be deceitful and evil of me if I didn't bring the mistake to your attention.
Though if you feel like keeping the grade where it is and giving me extra credit for honesty, I surely wouldn't mind! :)

Sincerely
Your favorite student,
Alina :)
