Dear Mam/ Sir
As I mentioned earlier , I would be delighted and honoured to come to this remarkable school. The reason is because my mother passed away a few months back. Our family has not been able to cope due to the loss of our beloved mother , wife and best friend. We are unfortunately in an unstable financial state. I had heard about this amazing school built by the fascinating Oprah Winfrey. I was a leader and even honoured one of the best leaders of the year. I always follow the rules and I always put effort into what I am doing. I promise you that if I could come to your school , whether 2018 or 2019 , that I will not disappoint . I just need to be given a chance to show you what I can do. I know that I will prove to you that I am not only intelligent , I am devoted to my schoolwork and hardworking and will do anything to reach success.
Kind Regards
Botshelo N
