  4. Dear KNB,
    Greetings!
    I hope my letter finds you well.
    I am an aspirant student to avail your scholarship program for a Master’s degree. I’m writing this to ask for your kind consideration with my current situation. It is known that KNB organization has established a good reputation and have been a respected academic institution in Indonesia by virtue of helping students from developing countries like the Philippines.
    Currently, I’m a graduating student with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, Philippines. I am delighted to share that I participated in the recent SEA-TVET exchange student program in Institut Pertanian Bogor last February 9 to March 10, the year 2019. For the duration of 30 days’ exposure to your society, the local language, culture, and traditions, I genuinely fell in love with Indonesia.
    The main purpose of this letter is to seek your advice regarding one of the necessities for the KNB scholarship which is the graduation certificate. In respect to April 12, 2019’s deadline for all the required documents, my graduation certificate wouldn’t be available as my commencement exercise will be taken on June 2019. I have already prepared all other needed documents for the KNB Scholarship (except graduation certificate), in addition, one of my recommendations was made by the Vice Dean Dr Wawan Oktariza of IPB Sekolah Vokasi for he have seen my passion, performance, and my aim to higher education and this recommendation is visible to my account in KNB – application no. 190302125. I could provide you with a copy of my transcript of records if needed for verification purposes.
    I truly wanted to apply for the scholarship in order to take my Master’s Degree in Universitas Indonesia. And promise to offer my dedication and courage to fulfil the aim of this program
    Appreciate your kind and prompt response to this matter.

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    Harold Jay L. Cunanan
    A student from the Philippines
