How to request an extension for submission to a conference? I am writing a few research papers for an upcoming conference and things have been going decently. But I could really use more time to analyze my papers.

I am new to writing and this entire conference process, however - How should I e-mail the organizer requesting a deadline extension?

Hi Dr. Bobster,

I would like you to extend the deadline for the
international conference on procrastination.

Sincerely,
Procrastinator


Also if it helps: I should make this extra polite because this is also someone of high influence.

Updates



It looks like for the past versions of this conference, they gave at least a week extension. This is a fairly well known event, though it doesn't usually end up presenting any ground breaking research.



It looks like the past few events had extensions, its a well-known event but not too crazy. There's no way I can finish this with the other things I have..



If anyone wants an update, I cut the paper short, finished it on time and submitted it.



I asked for an extension. I didn't get a reply - so I thought that they thought I was being stupid. BUT.... they extended the deadline! Phew!! Maybe I didn't have to cut it short..
The words you propose are reasonable, but unlikely to have much effect. Usually, you just plain cannot affect the deadlines of a significant conference. If it is a small conference, however, there is a good chance that you can get a one week extension, and even that they may give a blanket one week extension to everybody.
