Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am writing in reply to your advertisement concerning possible taking one of scholarships you are offering.

To begin with, I am a 16-year old Serbian student and I come from Banja Luka in the north of The Republic of Srpska. At present, I am still in the second year of high school. I have been learning English for eight years and can speak it quite well. In addition to this, I hope to pass the Cambridge First Certificate in English in December.

I would definitely improve my spoken English if I had a chance to practise it in England. This is one of the main reasons why I am applying for this scholarship. On the other hand, I have always been interested in visiting new countries, though my parents couldn't afford me that. So, I think that this is the opportunity I have been looking for whole my life. I would be very grateful if you would consider my application for this scholarship.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Tatjana Vucic
