Dear Mr./Ms. Lastname:
I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering at ZBD Community Hospital, but I wanted to let you know that I do not plan on continuing to volunteer during the summer.
Due to my acceptance into a local track and field summer program, I won’t be able to commit to the necessary hours that are needed at the hospital. However, I would appreciate the opportunity to return to my position in the fall if possible. I am sorry if this causes any inconvenience.
Please let me know if I can return to volunteering during the school year.
Again, I appreciate the opportunity you have provided me. I learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience as well.
Sincerely,
