I am a dictator. I have managed to create tens of thousands of refugees thereby giving the staff of UNHCR some sort of job security. It will be great if you could sponsor me so that I undertake some kind of learning visit to exchange experiences and good practices with well-known dictatorial leaders. This is a matter or urgency as we, dictators, are facing the danger of being extinct .. look what has happend to Mubarek of Egypt, and the Ghaddafi of Libya, such a statue and great fellow dictators. I really bemoan their loss!!!!! Oh, I forgot to say my name. I am Isayas from Eritrea!

i want to come to your university for this reason:
can you help me i need to your help for build of my future.can you help me.
please read all this my letter and respond .i hoping you understand me.
Dear Sir,
With the presence of the president of this university, I would like to greet in Islamic Greetings Assalamu Alaykum.
I am Mr. Mohammad Khavary a son of Ali, I was born in March 21, 1989 from the group of Afghanistan, and I am living in Iran for more than 20 years. Because of the insecurity country of Afghanistan, We decided to go here and stay here.
In Iran it is complicated for all foreigners to live here, up to, for the Entrance Test in University for us it is so hard to take it and also about the tuition fee is very expensive. From this situation everyone who cannot afford for the tuition fee of their children, they are going to send their children in School), because they don’t have ability to pay this all. And another reason that some of families, they are only choosing one of their children to send in SCHOOL. In other side, for all foreigners it is not permitted to take a job here for monthly job.
And I am one of those families that we cannot afford to do this all, and just only a few money that we have. Like others, that their children was born in Iran, they don’t have ability to do this all. From that situation that when I was studying in Elementary school, too much problem that we have regarding paying a tuition fee, getting a Diploma or a Certificate. Besides, until now since when I was studying in Elementary School up to now they didn’t give me a certificate. From this reason, I decided to go to Almustafa International University (Islamic University for all foreigners). And because of family’s abundance, I got from this situation, and also because my family they didn’t have ability to pay for my tuition fee in High school level, I was sent in Almustafa International University. In fact, for all foreigners it is not permitted to work here but some of those works it is, but it’s so very hard just like worker in construction, a tuber, a water constructor and etc. And because of this, we have to work very hard for the monthly salary that we are working for. And also I am studying at that time. But because of the mercy of Allah I had an ability to do this all and until now I didn’t exit from studying an Islamic Theology.
In other problem, for all foreigners that was finished in High school, some of the Universities they are not accepting their own desires to study (just like I want to study a Mechanical Course) they didn’t accept it and because of this I decided to go to Almustafa International University to study an Islamic Theology. In other side, for an Entrance Test in Universities in Iran that it is so very hard in that time, I studied again in Almustafa International University and until now, I am studying in this Islamic University for a license, and in fact, just only one term it will be finish. But, there’s one thing that I want to do, it is to change my course (that I’m studying right now in this Islamic University) to other course, and it is in your University, from this I decided to go to your University to study that course. How many times I talked to all of my friends about this. One of my friends told me about studying in University but me I didn’t know anything regarding this case. But I want to try it and to continue these things and to be one of your students in this University. But because of your hard acceptable, I decided to write a letter so that you will understand what I want to do. And I am hoping that this will be my chance to study in you University because it is better to hope than to standby alone in our own place. But I became hopeless; because of your hard acceptable that it is written in your Entrance Requirements. And because of all things that I said here that too much problem we have. I don’t have ability to pay this all.. And Language Certificate (English language) in Iran, it is so very hard to get it and it is required that we have a high average.
In other side, I don’t have a time to get a certificate language because of this situation and I am also working in that time. But if this situation is easy to you to accept me I mean to give me a chance to study in your University, of course I will do my best and I will study very hard and to work in your University I mean I also want to be a working student. Because I don’t have a lot of money to pay this all and there is no someone who can help me from this situation. But because of my Aim and Purpose that have a worth (that people want to learn knowledge) me, I have that things and I will sacrifice so that there is no body that can let me go far from this desire. And just like in my country, there is no free learning knowledge. In this thing, I am sacrificing so that I can do this just like others in their country, they are studying knowledge. But this is not a wishing moment because in my country there is too much happenings that until now it is going dangerous for us.
Because of this, there is no chance for us to get a certificate from schools. In fact, in every school there are no any other items. I mean in Afghanistan, we don’t have any items in our schools for learning knowledge just like Books, notebooks, and other items.. Regarding about studying, it is just like a park that we go there and nothing! And also there is no higher level than this four years course (license).
I am hoping that this letter will you read with your mercy and of course with the mercy of Allah, and will you respond this letter so that you can help me from this situation. And for that course that I have wishing for, will you give a chance for me. This is my Cell number: 00989356007746 please call me as soon as possible.
From your mercy and good acceptable, thank you!!!
