Can you please correct me? How to write a formal letter?
I am a school teacher in German, and I would like to write a formal letter to my student parents in English. Please help me correct the letter. Thank you all. Please correct my sentences, and this is a formal letter.
I would like to talk with the student's parents in regard the things happened to her in school. We hope that we can talk with her both parents within 3 weeks before she get expelled from school.
1. She has been caught cheating on many exams, and have been telling the students in school that this school is a joke and too easy to fool around. Many students have been complaining about it.
2. Her boyfriends got caught smoking marijuana at his room in the dorm, he has been arrested by police. The reason we want to inform her parents is that she was at his room while the police found the illegal drugs at her boyfriend's dorm room. She refused to corporate with the school and the police,
3. Some students have been reported to deans office that she is pregnant for three weeks and has been seeking to have abortion. The thing is her boyfriend is younger than her and he is still a student in school. Her boyfriend doesn't know what to do with this. Abortion is illegal in Germany. So we have to speak with her both parents about this.
We hope you can inform her parents in regard this matter, and ask her parents to come to school to talk about this issue. If we do not see her both parents come to school within 3 weeks. We will expel her from school. Please contact her parents directly, because we believe that she did not tell her parents the truth and refused to corporate with the school and the police.
