Read the following message.

Dear Director Almeida,

I am writing to withdraw my son, Karim, from the Maplewood Conservatory of Music, and to ask whether the tuition we paid ahead for the September to February term might be returned to us. Our family has thought the world of Maplewood, and Karim has looked forward to every lesson. The difficulty is that remaining in Regina has become a heavy burden on our finances.
