Task to write a query

So today, I was tasked to write a query letter to someone by my boss, Matron. I smiled. It was a smile that I alone understood. Query letter is a letter I'm very familiar with.

This month I resigned from my second job as a teacher. I used to receive queries like like toffees. It was always for lesson notes or late coming. I hated lesson notes preparation. I felt I didn't need prior planning to teach maths or ICT to a candidate class for BECE.

The queries used to come with some fiscal penalty but I was never budged. A single academic term without a query was a great achievement to brag about.

Nonetheless, the pupils knew I know my left from right about what I was doing. Even the school management knew delivering the deliverables was a conspicuous forte I wield.

Every staff at point knew I was a veteran query receiver. One day, my man Alootey Van-Ess teased that I could open a consortium on how to receive queries and respond to queries. Lol

Typical of me, I occasionally employed obfuscatory words and logorrhoea to respond to my queries.

So, here I was, the veteran query receiver ready to query. I reached out for my laptop and my mind was inundated with all the mundane dictions used in pro query letter. I was typing swiftly - flowing like a knife through butter!

Then, when I got to "you should reply to this query giving reasons why further displicinary actions should not be taken against you", I smiled again.


If a query letter fails to end with this statement, then it's a MISNOMER!
