Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to regard to the scholarship at your institution. I believe that I would be the perfect candidate for this scholarship. My chosen subject is journalism and English has always been one of my favourite subjects. I would love to study at a university in the UK or the US one day. My academic marks have been excellent this year in all subjects. I love music and have played the piano since I was five. I now play in a small band. I am also a member of a reading club. I enjoy all types of team sports and play hockey for the school team. I would be very grateful to receive the chance to study on the Combined English Scholarship programme and I am sure that I would take advantage of this fantastic opportunity. I look forward to receiving your reply. Yours faithfully, James Anderson
