Dear Sir/Madam,
At the moment I am a secondary school student here in Nigeria. I intend studying accountancy in Havard University but cannot meet up with the financial requirements. Also, I want to know if there is an age requirement needed for the admission apart from excellent academic records because, I will be 16 years old when I will be graduating from School, and as a girl, is there going to be any other special conditions?
Thanks
Frances

Dear Sir/Madam,
The offer been made by the Havard University is a laudable one. Presently, I am in my finals studying Mechanical Engineering. However, I intend to run my masters in Economics at the Havard University, even though I cannot afford the fees, I presume it will cost for studying at such a stellar university.
I desire to proceed in this study of Economics as I have discovered that I am more of an Economist cum Manager than an Engineer. However, I do not know if the policies of the school will accept that seeing that I have a background in Mechanical Engineering.
I will be expecting your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Chukwudum Chukwuedo
