Dear Sir,
Hope you will be fine and doing well. I am working as a senior poultry officer with comprehensive Agriculture and Rural Development Facility (CARD-F) at Kabul, Afghanistan. I would like to pursue my Master program through your scholarship because I am unable to get my higher studies without any kind of support. Please consider me for the mentioned scholarship. I shall be very thankful to you for this act of kindness.
