Subject: application for sanctioning an education loan at the earliest to continue higher studies.
Respected sir,
I beg to state that I am an old customer in your bank branch since three years. I opened my account in this bank when I was in class 10th for scholarship purpose. At present, I have completed my higher secondary education in science stream. I have appeared in the JEE exam and got selected in a reputed government engineering college. Being born and brought up in a poor family it is hard for my parents to bear my education expense. So, I need an education load urgently to complete my engineering course. My parents have high expectation and dream about me to see me as a successful engineer in future. To make their dream come fulfilled I am ready to take any risk along with hard work. I can assure you I will pay the loan back with interest after my placements in near future.
But for now, please sanction the education loan of Rs. 2 lakhs as soon as possible. With it only I can complete my admission process in the college.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Sunil basu
