Dear Ms. Ryan,

I would like to schedule a time to meet with you about the grade in my class. My grades are very important to me and if we don't meet, I'm worried that my grade won't improve.  I am trying to get the ski pass because I really love to ski, but if my grade doesn't improve, then I won't be able to get the ski pass.  It's really important that we meet about this as soon as possible.  Can you please schedule a time to meet with me?  

Sincerely,

Jane Smith
