　　Write your letter in no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

　　Do not write the address. (10 points)

Dear Sir or Madam,

　　As a student who can support myself, I am writing to request if you can help me find a potential beneficiary of Project Hope.

　　I wonder whether it is convenient for you if two things regarding the child are taken into account. First, the child should come from Sichuan Province because I intend to help a child from my hometown. Second, it will be better if he or she is a primary school student who was forced to drop school because of poverty.

　　I would like to help the child annually until he or she graduates from college. Firstly, the money will cover his or her tuition fee and other expenses at school. Besides, I will correspond with the child frequently so that he or she can often seek advice.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

亲爱的先生/女士：

　　作为一名经济独立的学生，我这写封信是提出要求，是否您能帮我寻找一位希望工程的潜在受益人。

　　我想知道，以下与这个孩子相关的两件事，对您来说是否方便。首先，孩子应该来自四川，因为我想资助一个来自我家长的小孩。其次，最好是一位因为贫穷而不得不辍学的小学生。

　　我会每年都会为他(她)提供资助，直到大学毕业。第一，这笔钱包括在校期间的学费和其他费用，此外，我会经常与这个孩子通信以便于他(她)可以 随时征求意见。

　　你的诚挚的，

　　李明
