IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
As an international student in Australia, you have an account with a local bank. The monthly bank transfer you receive from your parents has been delayed this month due to an error at your parents’ bank.
Write a letter to your bank. In your letter
● Introduce yourself and ask for a loan
● Say why you need the money
● Tell them how you intend to pay back the money
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an international student from the UK studying at Sydney University and I am writing to you as I would like to request a temporary loan so that I can meet my expenses this month.
I have had my account for about two years since I arrived in Australia and I have always kept it in credit. My parents send me a regular bank transfer of $2200 every month and until now, I have always received this monthly payment without any difficulty.
Unfortunately, however, there has been an error with their online banking system at HSBC so the funds will be delayed this month. This will be a problem for me because my monthly rent of $1000 is due next week and I need money to cover general living expenses.
I would therefore like to request a temporary loan of $1800 for a maximum period of one month until the next payment is completed. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward very much to hearing from you soon.
Best regards
