I am enclosing the completed application for an assistantship and a certificate of account balance issued by my bank. It is hoped that you will send me an I-20 form at your early convenience. As mentioned in my previous letter, I do wish to obtain an assistantship for Fall 1989. But if the financial aid is not available. I will come to enroll with my own funds first and wish to be considered for financial aid later in Spring or Fall 1991. The money in my account was supplied by my parents, and I want to be independent of them as early as possible.
