E-mail Asking for Additional Financial Aid

The author of this letter is asking for additional financial support from the school that has accepted her. Her visa was denied twice. She has a Scholarship from the school, which only covers half of her total expense.

Dear Professor Higner:

Thank you for your email and kind offer! Definitely, I would like to try to apply for a visa for the Winter quarter. I understand that both you and Professor Black have tried very hard to help me with my situation and I appreciate your efforts.

As it is true that nobody really knows why the visa officers refuse certain applicants and allow others, I have been told by several successful visa re-applicants that re-applying with a new I-20 with a slightly different offer from the US schools would help. For example, a slight increase in financial aid and so on. I don''t know whether this is something possible for you to consider for my situation. But I would really appreciate if you could consider some possibilities. I know that I have given you enough trouble and please ignore my request if it is too difficult for you to do. I will simply try my best to get my visa and come to your school.

Thanks!

Sincerely yours,

Mei Yang
