Band 8+: You want to attend a training course in a foreign country, but you need financial assistance. Write a letter to the government. In your letter: Explain why you want to take the training course Describe how the course will benefit your work Request financial assistance to attend the course

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Ogunlade Emmanuel, and I am currently working as an Accountant at the Medical Rehabilitation Therapist’s Board of Nigeria, a regulatory agency under the Federal Ministry of Health. My key responsibilities include preparing financial statements such as the statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, and statement of cash flows.

I am particularly interested in attending an advanced Excel training course in Canada and would like to request financial assistance to achieve this goal. This training will enhance my technical skills and proficiency in financial analysis, data visualization, and presentation. It will greatly benefit my current workplace by helping me prepare high-standard financial reports, allowing management to make well-informed decisions.

I require financial aid due to the high cost of the training, which exceeds my current savings. I currently have twenty-five million naira, but due to the unfavorable exchange rate, my funds will not be sufficient to cover all expenses.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,

Ogunlade Emmanuel
