A Letter of Application for the Student Loan

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a sophomore in Beijing University, majoring in computer software.

In the previous one and a half years I have been a model student in my class.

However, since I registered here, the expenses have become a burden on my family.

You know, my parents are both laid-off workers, and, to make matters worse, my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation.

It will be beyond their ability to finance me through my remaining education.

I have to help relieve their financial pressure.

So I'm applying to your bank for a loan of 5000 Yuan.

If my application is approved, all the money will go to my tuition for the coming academic years. I've made a detailed plan to arrange my school life. A part-time job as a family tutor will not be difficult to find and some work-study programs for students like me are also provided in our university.

With these sources I will be able to earn more than enough to support myself. I have a good credit record and I guarantee that I will repay the loan within two years after my graduation.

I would be greatly obliged if my application is granted.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
