Dear Sir/ Madam
I am a fifth form student at the Holy Childhood High School where I specialize in Business education. It is a requirement of the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) that I produce a School Based Assessment (SBA) Project in my area of specialization. I am preparing my School Based Assessment in Office Administration on the topic “The researcher seeks to find out the purchasing procedures in the purchasing department.”
In order to obtain the required information to carry out this project, I am seeking your permission to visit your organization and issue some questionnaires and to conduct interviews with staff employees in the Purchasing Department.
I can be contacted between the hours of 2:30 to 6:30 pm. My telephone numbers are 472-2973 and 981-7579
I await your favorable response.
Yours faithfully
