A fee concession letter is a letter that will help you to obtain a concession, reduction or complete removal of fees for a university or college course that you or one of your siblings is looking to take. It is absolutely paramount that you lay out the letter in the correct manner and ensure that the grammar, punctuation and of course the spelling is perfect in order to give yourself the best chance of receiving the concessions that you are seeking. You must also make sure that you are completely honest about your financial situation as any misinformation that is given can lead to your concessions being denied. Firstly, you will need to insert your full address into the top right-hand side of the letter; this must include your house/apartment number, street name, city name and also the date that you are writing the letter. Then you will need to write on the left-hand side of the letter the name of the principal, the university name and the address of the university. Once this has been completed you can continue with the letter. It is important to explain your interest in the subject that you intend to study and the job that you hope to obtain upon completion of the course of degree that you are applying for. You will then need to inform the principal of your financial position and the level of concession that you are seeking from the fees required to complete the course, for example 50 per cent. Always be polite and use perfect English when writing a letter of this nature and you will give yourself the best chance of success. Complete the letter with a standard 'yours sincerely' or 'kind regards', then your signature and your printed name.
