Dear Mrs. Chan,

Request for financial support for a course

I am writing to request the financial support for the course on Leadership and Teamwork in school. It is held by the Hong Kong Adventure Bound School. I ask for the request for financial support because it is expensive.

Ten of next year’s secondary six students (5boys and 5girls) hope to attend this course to prepare for their leadership roles on secondary 6 and 7.

The principal would like the students to attend the course in August after the Orientation Day for secondary six students. So the course will be on 21st August to 25th August.

The course is designed for senior school students to prepare for leadership roles in the school as well as to work on teams. The course also helps them develop the leadership skills needed by today’s successful adults.

There are some examples of activities on offer: debates, water gala, basketball games and mountain escape.

The activities are designed to develop leadership qualities by increasing the students’ confidence to take on responsibilities, developing the students’ decision making skills, showing the students the importance of gaining the trust of their team-mates.

Every activity the students engage in on the course involves working in teams. Thus the students learn how to cooperate with others, work for a common aim.

The deadline for applications is on the 7th August.

We need $3000 per person for the course. Could you kindly subsidise the course by 50% because it is so expensive.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

John Lam
