Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a third-year student majoring in history at Beijing Normal University. I'm writing to seek your assistance to finance my fourth year's course.

In the fourth year, studying will be my priority and I will have to cut back on part-time jobs off campus. That is why I seek your help through a student loan.

I am still not clear about the conditions for applying for a student loan. Could you please send me the details about repayments, lending rates and duration? Many thanks for considering my request.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

尊敬的先生/女士：

我是北京师范大学历史专业的一名大三学生。我写信想请求您的帮助--资助我完成大四的课程。

到了大四，我要以学习为重，因此不得不减少校外的兼职工作。这就是为什么我向您寻求帮助，申请助学贷款。

我对申请助学贷款的条件还不太了解。您能发给我有关分期还款额、贷款利率和期限的细节吗?非常感谢考虑我的请求。

您真诚的，

李明
