SUBJECT: REQUESTING FOR A LOAN FOR FURTHER STUDIES

Recently I came to know that your esteemed bank provides loan to deserving and capable students for further studies.Therefore, I would like to put my case before you for the grant of an educational loan so that I can pursue my further studies. I would also like to inform you that I have completed my graduation from Delhi University this year and secured second position in the list of successful candidates. I intend to complete M.Com but my circumstances do not permit me to continue my studies further.

Therefore, I request you to kindly sanction me a loan for further studies and let me know the terms and conditions under which such a loan is granted. I assure you that I shall abide by all the terms and conditions. I hope for a positive reply from your end.

Thanking you

Points to Remember:

• It is very important to follow the format while writing a formal letter. You neither write less, nor exceed the word limit. You have to be very precise while writing a formal letter.
• You must ensure that your content does not seem repetitive. Repetition of words/sentences or content as a whole invites cutting of marks. Try and use synonyms in case you see that a word is getting repeated a number of times in the letter.
• Your letter should be written in a particular flow. The subject should highlight the main purpose of letter. The introduction of your letter should effortlessly lead to the body, which should lead to the concluding paragraph.
