As a student in school, it is an obligation to pay school fees, the only exceptions are that you have to be on a scholarship scheme or the school offers free education.
If you are the type who has a sponsor or guardian or your brother is the one responsible for your education, it is your responsibility to inform him early enough about the cost of your fees.
This act of yours will give him ample time to plan about paying up and make his budget and if he cannot meet up with your fees, you may just get notified on time and seek help elsewhere.
If you have a good relationship with your brother, no matter how older he is than you, communicating with him should not be a problem.
You have the choice of sending him a text message, calling him on the phone, or sending him a letter which may be handwritten, or typed (hardcopy or soft copy).
Yes, you may think a letter is too official but in this case, you will be sending an informal letter and you are at liberty of self-expression. The idea behind writing a letter is that you want to tell him something serious and you need him to know that you mean business.
The content of this article as you will get to see is ten sample letters that will guide you on how to write interesting letters to your brother telling him about your school fees.
10 Interesting Ways to Write a Letter to Your Brother Telling Him About Your School Fees.
Before we get onto the letters, this is to remind you that only your address is needed in this letter, especially if you are not living in the same house as your brother.
You can use the name of your school as your address which should be at the top right corner of your letter. Remember to include the date as this is very crucial.
Letter One.
Dear Brother Chike,
How are you and how is everything at your new place of work? I hope you are finding a place conducive to working and that your colleagues are a nice set of people.
I represented my school in the yearly spelling bee competition and trusted your sister to take the first position, giving my school a lot of publicity and prestige.
As a result of my big win, I was rewarded with free copies of all my textbooks and so many stationeries. I am so overjoyed and cannot contain my joy as I write to you. I know you are very proud of me wherever you are.
Now to the root of the matter. Our fees for this term have just been published on the school’s website and we were told to inform our guardians to check it out.
Payment is to be made online and the narration of the payment should be my full name to serve as evidence of payment. This is my sole reason for reaching out to you.
Have a blessed day brother.
Cassandra.
Letter Two.
Dear Taiwo,
It’s been a while. I wanted to share some updates with you and all I could think of was taking my pen to write this letter. The school has been an escapade for me, there are lots of stories to tell as I have garnered quite several experiences by just being a student.
Last week, I was notified of the next session’s fee. It seems the management just got a financial expert who has taught them how to come up with many avenues for students to spend money they don’t even have.
The fees have skyrocketed compared to the last session but whatever the case is, I am certain I will be able to handle it.
All I need to do for now is cut down on some budget and maybe do two jobs like most of our people here in this country. It is not going to be easy, that I am aware of but thank goodness this is my final year.
Having to live below my means and hustle more for twelve months wouldn’t be the end of me I believe. This is the sacrifice I need to make to get the kind of life I want in the future, so I am determined to go through this phase and come out on top.
We should plan to hang out soon, so we catch up on everything we have both missed. I love you to the moon and back Okoli. Do say hi to your Fulani girlfriend, Halima.
Best regards,
Chidera.
Letter Three.
Hello Big Brother,
Happy New Year.
I am writing to inform you and formally invite you to our school’s upcoming inter-house sports competition and fifth anniversary which comes up on the 16th of next month.
It is going to be an interesting event with lots of cultural, educational, and entertaining activities.
We will also have some sports competitions and a beauty pageant in which I am a participant for my house – Green Army House. Brother your presence will be highly appreciated as I would love you to see me in my modeling element.
My second aim in writing to you is to inform you beforehand of my school fees because it has increased by twenty percent this year due to the economic situation of our country.
Proper information concerning the fees will be passed at the inter-house sports ceremony so this is a very good reason why you should be available.
Letter Four.
Hi Brother Tony,
How is your new home? I hope you are enjoying your wife’s company. I was hoping to travel with both of you to Maldives but mummy said I should allow you both to enjoy your honeymoon in peace.
You should have seen me crying bitterly. I was so sad that you didn’t even care to check up on your younger sister for the three weeks you were away. Is love that addictive? Well, I have to grow up to find out I suppose.
My visiting day comes up on the second Saturday of the month which is in two weeks. I would be the happiest sister in the world if you came to see me with your wife, Aunty Sheila. Please come along with a lot of fruit and chocolates.
Before I leave out the most important information I should be sharing. Uncle Tony, my school fee payment deadline is almost here and mummy said I should relate the information to you so that you can do something about it and come along with the receipts during my visiting day in school.
Letter Five.
Compliments Sammy,
I wonder how you intend to deal with the surprise that will come when you read this letter. Before you wonder why I would send a letter in this 21st century, let me give you the necessary explanations.
I had a little misunderstanding with your mother because she did something I consider gross. Even if she had genuine reasons I was still very angry because she knew how much effort and sacrifices I made to ensure that I graduated without any issues from school.
Can you imagine that Mama gave out the school fee I had saved for months to a pastor during the crusade that was held in our street last week?
She said she was led by the spirit and the money she had in mind to give was not enough so she had to take over eighty percent of my school fee savings which I left in a piggy bank inside my room to complete her seed.
It was a lot to deal with when I found out. I had no option but to sell off my new phone to replace the money for my fees just to allow peace to reign and save my face the shame of owing fees in school.
This is the situation of things as I write to you. I just thought I should let you know. Maybe you will be led to buy me a new phone the same way your mother was led to take my money.
Yours faithfully,
Kenneth.
Letter Six.
Hey big bro,
I expect you to be doing great so I won’t ask. I wanted to share with you some news concerning my school fees.
You are already familiar with the fact that college can be pretty expensive, but I finally got my tuition sorted out. I can now boast about being a man of my own. Although it was a bit of a struggle, I was able to pull through.
I put more effort into studying and my results were amazing, this enabled me to get some financial aid and scholarships to cover most of the fees.
Then I began a part-time job as a waiter at a small restaurant and the money realized from the job covered my feeding and little expenses.
I’m so enthusiastic about this upcoming semester and can’t wait to see what new challenges and possibilities it brings. God willing, it will be a walkover for me.
Anyway, I just wanted to give you a quick update on what has been up with me. Let me know how you’re doing, and maybe we should plan to have a vacation with our little sister during the summer.
Take care,
Collins
Letter Seven.
Hi Clement,
I can’t even start by exchanging pleasantries because all I want to do at this point is vent.
I am beginning to feel like I made a wrong choice coming to this school. The extortion in the name of fees is beginning to get to me and I feel like I may just faint one day because of overthinking and built-up anger.
Almost daily, we are asked to pay one fee or the other. The list of financial commitments goes on and on. It is so annoying because before you even complain, a huge percentage of the class has already made payments, so you end up with no choice but to succumb.
Most of my colleagues don’t even have a problem with it. I don’t know if they were given prior notice of the school demands or if they just have so much money lying idly in their bank accounts.
I need serious encouragement at this point, or else the next letter I would send might just be to inform you that I dropped out of this extorting society called university.
Thank you for coming to my not in anyway pep talk.
Your best in complaining,
Emem.
Letter Eight.
My dear brother,
As I sail through the halls of my academic pursuit, a new challenge has been unlocked to test my patience – school fees!
I am financially incapacitated as I write to you today. My school has ripped me off all that my bank account holds.
I don’t intend to sound funny but as at the time of this letter, I am not even sure of a decent meal this evening because of the huge sacrifice I just made for my academics following the fifty percent increase in our fees this semester.
However, I have hope because your support in trying times like this has always been my anchor, and having you as someone I can always count on means the world to me. I cannot wait to see you during the holidays, and say hi to your colleagues and friends.
Best wishes,
Ayo.
Letter Nine.
Dear brother Nathan,
How is the family? I am very certain everyone is well at home.
You know I am not one for many words so I will just go straight to telling you what the issue is this time.
Life has taken a tough time for me, but it is said that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Letter Ten.
Hello Brother Vana
I just had to reach out to you before the affliction arose a second time. My fees have not been paid and I risk being sent home on fee drive for the second time in two terms.
The first was last term and it affected my grades badly. You know mom lost her job so keeping up has not been at all easy
I just had to let you know so that you can support me wherever possible. Please do not let mummy know I shared this information with you. It baffles me that she insists on carrying my academic burden alone because she doesn’t want to bother anyone.
Mummy needs help with my fee payment. Please reach out to her cause she will never ask.
Your smallie,
Sade.
