Part A 范文

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m a teacher of Renmin University of China and I’d like to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote part of your province. Therefore,I would be most grateful if you could send me information regarding such a child who has met the following requirements:

First,he must be very poor and truly in need of help. Second,he must have the strong desire to improve things around him. Third, he must be healthy, happy and optimistic. Last but not the least is that he must be willing to return to his hometown to do something for it after graduation from university.

I would send him money every year from this year on until he finishes his higher education.Your prompt reply to this letter would be highly appreciated. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely Yours,

Li Ming

亲爱的先生/女士：

我是中国人民大学的一名老师。我想为希望工程做点贡献，打算资助你省边远地区的一个孩子。因此，如果你能提供符合以下条件的一个孩子信息给我，我将不胜感激：

第一，他必须很穷，真的需要帮助。第二，他必须有强烈的愿望，想要改善他周围的事物。第三，他必须健康、快乐，并且乐观。最后一点但很重要的一点是，大学毕业后他必须愿意回到他的家乡为家乡做贡献。

我将从今年开始每年都给他寄钱，直到他完成高等教育。盼望你尽快回信。
