Subject: Application for financial help from the poor fund.

Sir

With due respect, I beg to state that I am a regular student of your school reading in Class IX. I am a sincere and hard-working student, and in every examination I have secured a good position in my class.

My father is a poor farmer and the only earning member of our large family. It has become very difficult for him to bear the cost of my education along with the family expenses. As a result, I am unable to buy my books and pay my examination fees on time, and I fear that my studies may stop.

I have come to know that there is a poor fund in our school to help needy but meritorious students. I strongly believe that a little financial help from this fund will enable me to continue my studies and appear at the coming examination.

I, therefore, pray and hope that you would kindly grant me some financial help from the poor fund and oblige thereby.

I remain,

Sir,

Your obedient student,

Md. Sohel
