Good day, sir! I'm from the petition class of Dev Comm in AB. I was not able to attend the one-on-one session last time. I was trying to reach you through text but I do not know if you have received it. I was wondering if you could please give me a chance to take the exam or you could assign me another work. Thank you for the consideration, Sir.
