Dear HENNERY SMITH
You have known me for a long time now and I find myself needing some confidential advice. It is of a financial matter, as I am now faced with money problems as I come close to completing my degree.
I need money to pay for the rest of my studies, money that I do not have. I could borrow using government financial aid, or I could work full time for several months. This latter way would of course mean I have less debts, and as I already have a loan that I used to pay for my car, it is in many ways my preference.
I am faced with a dilemma, as I do not want to have more debt but if I leave school now would I ever return? Any guidance that you can give me on my problem would be much appreciated. I look forward to your response. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and allowing me to speak to you confidentially.
Sincerely,
Chike
