Dear Sir/ Madam, Iam writing to ask for your kind help to support me financially. Iam a South sudanese student looking for scholarship to study abroad in Uganda for four years. I have completed High school currently in the year of 2012 and plan to pursue nursing course in college. However, i badly need your help due to lack of financial assistance. Our economic situation is very poor and i can not afford to pay off my tuition fees. Therefore, iam trying to seek possible international help which seem to be the only opportunity for me. I came from poor family and we are suffering due to the war going on in South sudan. So, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, I look forward to hear from you soon.
