Dear {Teacher/Principal Name}:
My name is {Name}, and I am the {guardian type} of {Student Name}. As of {date}, {Student Name} is required to pay {fee amount} for {activity}. I understand that the money is a necessary fee for {equipment, transportation, etc.}, but I am unable to pay it.
I would never ask to shirk my duty as a {guardian} or miss the chance to support the school. However, because of {reason}, I am currently unable to spare the funds. I would like to request that the fee be waived in this unique case. I hope {Student} can still participate in {activity}.
Thank you,
{Sender Name}
