Date: March 8

Subject: Book renewal

Dear Library Services,

I would like to renew a couple of library books I’ve borrowed. I recently discovered that they are

critical to my research, so I would like to keep them for at least another two weeks.

The details are as follows:

Number Title Author

000241 History of the Ancient Romans Cox, Terry L.

002616 Antony and Cleopatra Baldwin, Patricia

My library card number is 4425373.

I understand that it is possible to apply for an extension using the library’s website, but

unfortunately I’ve forgotten my password. I’ll make arrangements to have it reset next time I visit

the library.

Thank you for your help.
