Dear / Sir
I am an Ethiopian having LLB with CGPA of 3.57. Currently I am in Oromia institute of justice and professionals training and research center as a trainee. I also have another BA degree in foreign language and literature (English Education) together with six years of teaching experience from elementary to preparatory classes. Yet I want to upgrade my educational level to second degree (LLM) or any second degree related to my field of study. But I could not upgrade my qualification to LLM due to shortage of money. Because I used my resources exhaustively being a family man snatching from the mouths’ of my kids during my first degrees study. Therefore, I couldn’t stretch my hands farther to help myself. Please would you help me in realizing my dreams?

Dear Sir.
I have the great honor and pleasure to write to you for the first time.
Please let me introduce myself. I am Mohamed Ghazaly working in Oncology Unit, General Surgery Department, Faculty of medicine, Tanta University, Egypt as Assistant lecturer in the field of general surgery. I had M.Sc. With general grade Excellent April 2007 Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Egypt in general surgery. I am working now in the field of liver transplant, here in Egypt, and my phd thesis is about liver transplant. I am writing to you asking if you accept me for doing PhD work (proposal project). I’m looking forward to get a sholarship in the field of liver resection, transplant, or any related interventions and research. My CV is involved here as an attachment. I will be happy to be involved with any running projects in your institute. I hope that you accept me as a Ph. D. student in your institute. You are really supporting me to obtain a scholarship, and doing me and whole Egypt which suffer from liver disease a great favour. If a Phd scholarship is not available, a research and clinical training for one or two years even without a resulting degree would be fine. I am hopefully asking what about fund? As i do not have fund at present time, minimal fund would be ok. I hope you could help me about that.
Thank you very much and I am waiting for your kind reply.
Many thanks in advance
Faithfully: Mohamed Ghazaly

I am Rev. Josephat Sahani Kaboya aged 39 years, an employee with National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) at Tabora Research Centre in Tanzania.
I have been working with this Research Institution since 1993 to date as a Senior Laboratory Technologist. In 2001, I completed a two year course of Advanced Diploma in Medical Laboratory Sciences (specialized in Parasitology and Medical Entomology) at the Muhimbili University of health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) by then was known as Muhimbili University College of health Sciences (MUCHS)
Last year i.e 2008, I was offered a place to pursue MSc -Research/PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Biology of Cancer) in the school of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Liverpool, UK.
I tried to look for scholarship/sponsorships but I didn’t get any assistance financially. This year (during this academic year 2009/2010) the Liverpool school authority has nominated me again to pursue the same course.
I therefore, ask you to assist me financially to meet the school required tuition fee (pounds 12,000), bench fee (pounds 3,000.
Bench fee in years 2-4 will be ponds 6,000 = pounds 18,000.
The course is of 4 years and this offer is a conditional one (i.e. it depends on the availability of funds) Also, the course commences on 21st September,2009
I hope that, my financial request will be considered as this course is very important not only to me but also to my institute (NIMR), country and the World at large.
Thanks and God bless you forever.
Yours truly,
