Sometimes you may find yourself facing challenging situations that you cannot solve, such as the inability to pay your school fees due to a financial crisis.

This letter also allows you to be as expressive as you can be because you are talking to someone with whom you share a close relationship.
Now, get into the different letter choices at your disposal below.
Letter One.
Dear Uncle Mark,
Compliments of the season. I believe everything is fine. Are you back from your Christmas holidays? I am guessing you had a wonderful time during your vacation in London, judging from the beautiful posts you made on your Facebook some days ago.
Before I go directly to where this letter is headed, I want to thank you immensely for the support you have always given me from way back. You are one of the backbones of my academic pursuit and I cannot thank you enough.
Uncle Mark, my school has just resumed and I need your support again with my fees which are eighty-seven thousand, nine hundred and fifty naira only.
I would be very grateful if you would give me this assistance. May God replenish your pocket for always coming through. Thank you once again for always.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew.
Letter Two.
My dearest uncle,
I am glad to announce to you that I have just been admitted into the university to study my dream course – Medicine and Surgery. It will please you to know that I was third on the admission list because of my very high aggregate score of three hundred and seventy-five over a maximum score of four hundred percent.
I have been able to make payments for my departmental registration and clearance, however, I need money for my school fees and the deadline is in two weeks.
I am using this medium to ask that you help me meet this urgent need of mine so that my admission will not be deferred.
I will be very grateful if you can help in any way.
Yours loving,
Jude.
Letter Three.
Hello Uncle,
How are you faring? I wanted to talk to you about something pressing at the family gathering yesterday but you were very occupied so I resorted to sending you this letter.
I am writing to remind you about the promise you made the last time we spoke concerning my education. Remember I told you about the upgrade course I took and how I will need financial support in the long run?
You promised to take care of the school fee bills and the time has come for your promise to be fulfilled else I will not be allowed to sit for my forthcoming examinations.
Please uncle, I rely completely on you to assist with my fees. I hope my phone beeps with an alert as your response because I trust you to always keep to your words. Best wishes.
Your darling cousin,
Betty.
Letter Four.
Hello Uncle,
I hope this letter meets you well. I am writing this letter to you today to request your assistance in paying my school fees which is the sum of fifty thousand naira only.
Recently, I have been struggling to keep up with the financial costs of my education, and I need a little support from your end.
I completely understand the economic hardship everyone is experiencing right now, but I would be beyond grateful if you could help me out this one time. I promise to work hard and make the most of my education, and I will be incredibly grateful for your support.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read my letter, and I hope to hear from you soon enough
Sincerely,
Mary.
Letter Five.
Dear Uncle Ken,
Seasons greetings. Hope you are doing fine. As for me, things are not completely okay, hence, the need to reach out to you in this manner.
I am writing to inform you of the financial challenges that we are currently facing at home. Dad recently lost his job as the company he worked for folded up and Mom’s business has not been lucrative at all.
We barely have what to eat most of the time but that is something we have learnt to endure over time.
Now, the main issue is that I am on the verge of being driven from school because of my inability to meet up with the school bills by my parents.
I recently began a side hustle as a dishwasher in the restaurant close to our house, but the money I realize from the job can only afford me books and transport fare to school.
I cannot even tell my parents about my current situation of being threatened with expulsion if I cannot meet the fees because they cannot do anything about it right now.
Please, can you come to my aid by supporting me with my school fees? I need this help because I don’t want to drop out of school with my very promising performance. I pray God blesses you enough not to say No to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter of mine and thank you in advance because I believe you will be of help to me. I wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely,
Dennis.
Letter Six.
Uncle Brian,
Permit me to start this letter by complimenting how wonderful your last podcast was. I couldn’t stop sending your YouTube link to my friends and telling them we are related.
Would you believe some of them thought I was lying until I showed them pictures of us from way back until the present to prove myself? I hope I get to be a public figure like you someday so that people can brag about knowing me too.
Uncle, you know you are my favorite person and I can not possibly hide anything from you. I am writing to let you know that I got into trouble recently and it is beginning to get to me.
This was what occurred: a colleague of mine was seriously sick and needed surgery. With a kind heart, I offered her my fees which came too early from my parents as she promised to refund them in two weeks.
Well, guess who has not received back the money she lent out 2 months later? Me! My kindness has brought me disappointment. I have my final examinations in a week and failure to pay my fees means I am carrying over this semester.
Please I need your help now more than ever, can you help me clear my fees for this semester while I try to get back my money from the friend who betrayed me?
You know I can’t tell my parents else I would be grounded for life. Please you are all I have now and no other person can save me from this mess. Thank you so much Uncle B, you remain the best.
Love you always,
Calista.
Letter Seven.
Hey Uncle,
How is everything with you? You stopped checking on me all of a sudden. Did I do something wrong that made you cut me off that way?
I know I have not been coming to visit regularly like I used to anymore, but that’s because I have been extremely busy with school work and I barely have time for myself not to talk of going out to see someone.
My purpose in writing this letter is to ask you for money for the one hundred times, although this time around, I’m not asking for money for a new phone or hair or dinner. This is a more serious case.
Uncle, would you believe I got scammed while trying to pay my fees online? I don’t know how the link I clicked was fake because the website I was directed to was just the same as my school’s.
I have reported to Daddy and Mommy, but trust them, they both said they have no business with that as they only managed to provide the money that my carelessness got me here. It is not surprising that they do not understand that one cannot be too careful these days on the internet.
I suspended my business for a while to focus on my finals. Otherwise, I would have raised this money anyhow, but now, going back to start all over again would be very difficult and the timeframe for fee payment is short.
Uncle, can you please be my destiny helper as my parents have turned their backs on me? Please say yes to paying my fees this once. I would be very vigilant and careful henceforth. I love you.
Diana.
Letter Eight.
Dearest Uncle Mark,
Isn’t it quite surprising that Princess Carina of all people will resort to sending you a letter in this age and time? I had no other option because I was so ashamed of myself for doing this but I have no other option.
You know how I love to be independent and all, not ask for help, sort myself and just be a strong woman for myself, right? It failed this time. I owe fees in school and I’m so close to getting embarrassed because I cannot comply with paying my fees.
You know I would not do this on a normal day. Please, I need your help. I cannot lie, I need you to assist me with my fees.
I cannot even ask you this to your face that is why I chose to drop this letter. It’s me, it’s Carina, Uncle Tayo please help me pay my fees, my account details are written on the other side of this note. Thank you so much.
Your Princess,
Carina.
Letter Nine.
Beloved Uncle,
Good evening. I know you had a great day so I won’t bother asking.
In line with the conversation we had yesterday, I have decided to put it into writing so you can see how serious I am.
Uncle Dan, please can you do me a favor by paying my school fees this term? I used the money allocated for my fees to pay for my house rent because I could not be homeless and go to school. I am very serious, please don’t consider this one of my jokes.
Your cousin,
Bradford.
Letter Ten.
Hello Uncle P,
How is the weather in America? I hope you are adapting just fine.
Uncle P you must be used to my letters already. Thank you for being the one that I can always count on since my dad passed.
It is that time of the year again, schools are set to resume. This is me asking that you please support me by paying my fees as you have always done. I promise to keep making you proud by remaining an A student. Thank you for everything and my regards to your wife.
Yours sincerely,
Markus.
Parting Words.
The solution to your problem may just be you speaking up. Be comfortable asking for help when you find yourself in a tight corner. It may not always be easy but it is better to ask than to die in silence. Hope you found the letters interesting and helpful.
