    The content guidelines suggests having a maximum of 3,000 words, this implies anything within 1 - 2,999 words limit word count is acceptable. The word count for my work, entry number eight is within the accepted word count. In fact, my work contains just 2,500 words. So, it's not beyond the acceptable word count. I like you to reconsider entry eight and review my entry. I spent days on it

    Good day to you. I am currently working on your contest. If it is still possible, I would like to request an additional day before closure. I just have a few modifications to make to my work before I can submit it. I hope you can meet this request of mine, and thank you for your understanding.
