Students pursuing technical courses need adequate exposure to experiments in the laboratories to ensure they are knowledgeable about what happens in real job settings. They can also use the labs for research, especially during their final years of study. Lecturers and researchers may also want to use the library for research and conducting experiments with their students. In this respect, it’s essential to seek permission to use lab resources from the lab manager. In your letter, be specific in what you want and the duration you’ll be using the lab.

Dear Ms. May
My name is Angela Thomson from the University of Illinois; I’m a student in the faculty of science, pursuing a master’s degree in Biotechnology. I write this letter to request to use your laboratory for my research project.
I have considered many laboratories in the state, and found out your laboratory is the best equipped and suitable for my research. Please let me know if I can use your lab for the next three months. I have attached a list of the equipment, reagents, and materials I will use for my project; let me get a quote of the amount I’ll pay for them.
Thank you as you consider my request.
Yours faithfully,
