Hi, my name is Derrick Kaisha. Ordinarily i wouldn’t do this but i wish to bring to your attention the dire need of a Kenyan young man that would fit your bill wonderfully. He’s name is Shadrack Sharu. He comes from a home where his father does not work and his mother searches for various casual labour which pays just enough to put a meal on the table. Despite the hardship he scored relatively well in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examinations. The young man currently hawks second hand clothing in town in Rift Valley to supplement the family’s income. He is well behaved and i am certain that without the upheavals he will be a stellar student. I pray that your institution will go an extra step where i cannot by offering him at least a chance to know him and if he suitable, a scholarship. Kindly get in touch and i will arrange on how he can begin communication with you even at my own cost.
With gratitude.
