Dear Esther,

Your homework is nearly identical, character for character, with that of another student: Shrawan Bishowkarma. Since the homework is graded and counts for your individual grade, the homework is to be done individually, as indicated at the very top of the homework sheet. Thus I would like an explanation. Please be aware that I will be following departmental policy and escalate this to the examination board.

Regards,
Jasmin

Hello professor, 
I deeply apologize for this. I admit that there are similarities in Shrawans assignment and mine. Even though we both did some of the questions together because I had difficulties understanding some of the concepts, I admit that most of the work are Shrawans' 

I deeply apologize and I take this as a lesson and I promise such won't occur again.

I plead that the case is not escalated.

Hello professor,

I take full responsibility for this mistake and I plead that Shrawan is not punished for this. I accept for the assignment not to be graded for me.
I have also copied Shrawan in this email.

I admit that this was a fault I really regret it . This does not reflect my values and I will take any punishment necessary but I plead that the case is not escalated.

Dear Professor,

I would like to apologize for this. As we are new to these concepts and understanding it was a bit difficult, we tried solving the questions together, and as of which the answers were shared among each other. Due to this the answers are identical for both of us.

I would sincerely apologize for this, and also accept this assignment for me not to be graded. I request you not to escalate the case, and consider us for this time, and assure you that this will not repeat.

Thank you for your consideration, 

Regards,
Shrawan
