My dearest fathers
From the deepest of my heart, I wish to express my profound gratitude for this singular honour of finding me worthy to be one of the recipients of this scholarship scheme. I must say that you, my fathers, have relieved my father of one burden because I would have missed this opportunity of accepting the admission because of my dad's poor finances. But God in his infinite mercy have found it in your heart to assist us. May the Heavenly God of host reward you abundantly all, especially our daddy, Akanchawa Chief Chris Onwuzurike. On behalf of my parents, I thank you profusely and pledge not to disappoint you, in Jesus name. Thanks a million times.
