Hi,

The best thing is if you begin yourself by writing what you would say if you were talking face to face with the person responsible. Then we can offer you comments to improve your writing.

After all, only you know why you think you should receive assistance.

Thank you

Dear Sir,

This is to state that I have completed my intermediation in pre-engineering, and now I want to pursue a degree in B.E. (telecom.) at your highly estimable university. Literally, since I was in elementary school I have been interested in telecommunication, and more recently, I have narrowed my goal to become a telecommunication engineer. It has always been my and mother’s wish that I study at your university, but financially I am not strong enough to afford such a massive amount of fees.

Thereby, I request you to assist me by giving me a concession of 50% at least.

Meanwhile, thank you and I assure you of my sincere and continuing efforts.

Great regards,

Dear Dr [Dean's/Chairman's surname]:

Since my family is unable to bear the full cost of tuition, could you advise me of any financial assistance available?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Hi Mr Nutty

Here is a suggestion for improvement.  Rather than simply looking for grammar errors, I've done some rewording:

EDIT:
I see that Mister Micawber has also now replied.  I like his suggestions too, and agree with his suggestion that you include your educational records.

Dear (Name),

Having completed my pre-engineering coursework, I would now like to pursue a degree in B.E. (telecom.) at your esteemed. university. From the time I was in elementary school, I have been interested in telecommunications, and more recently, I have narrowed my goal to becoming an engineer in telecommunications.

It has also long been my dream to study at your university, but financially I am only in a position to cover, at most, about half of the costs.  Therefore, I would like to ask what forms of financial assistance are available.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

My Signature

Dear Dr [Dean's/Chairman's surname]: I don't know his name. Will it be wrong to say "Dear Sir"?

I have completed my intermediation (diplomacertificate?) [thank you again, Sir. Yes, it's a certificate. Can I say "H.S.C."?] in pre-engineering, and would like to pursue a BE (Telecommunications) degree at ABC [Do I have to use the university name here. I am confused a bit. When I have already mentioned it above in the address section, do I again need to mention it here?]  University.  I have always been interested in telecommunications, and more recently I have narrowed my goal to becoming a telecommunications engineer.  Enclosed/attached are my educational records. [I've already provided them with all the necesarry documents and records.]

Since my family is unable to bear the full cost of tuition, could you advise me of any financial assistance available? [They have already given me a concession of 50% with the grace of God, but they have still asked me to write an application letter for it as a red tape. I know for a fact that bluntly mentioning the desired concession is rude. Therefore, can I say "Since my family is unable to bear the full cost of tuition, could you please offer me some financial concession?"]

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely yours, [As I have told above, I don't know his name. Do I still need to use "sincerely yours", or should I use "faithfully yours" now?]
