Dear
Name of Contact:
My
name is name,
and I am a citizen of Ukraine currently enrolled (working) at university
(institute) in city. I am sending you
my completed application form for the undergraduate (graduate) degree program
in field.
Ihave
(will have) taken the TOEFL on date of test and
SAT (GRE, GMAT) on date of test.
Official score reports for these tests will be sent to your university.
As
you know, the currency in Ukraine is nonconvertible. Therefore, I
am not in a position to pay for the required application fee. I would
ask that your department and the office of undergraduate (graduate) admissions
give full consideration to my application without this fee.
Ihave
noted on the application form that I am applying for full financial support
from the university to cover tuition and living expenses. Due to
my financial situation, I am totally reliant on the generosity of the university
to support my studies. I would ask you to consider me for any scholarships,
(teaching assistantships, or research assistantships) or other awards
for which I am eligible.
I
would like to inform you that channels of communication between the USA
and Ukraine are very poor, and highly unreliable. Therefore, I have enclosed
all application materials in one envelope. I would ask that you
please allow for extra time in transferring letters, documents, etc.
At all times, I will try to stay in touch with you phone, fax or e-mail
to monitor the progress of my application.
I
have enclosed another copy of this letter which I would ask you to pass
along to the office of undergraduate (graduate) admissions so that they
are alerted to the special circumstances surrounding my application.
Thank
you very much for your attention to all these matters and for your consideration
of my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Your Signature
Your
name
