Dear Sec. Roque:
Good day, sir!
I am one of the beneficiaries of the EDSP offered by OWWA to qualifying college students. I have enjoyed the said scholarship throughout my five-year stay in Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program from 2004 - 2009.
I am proud to inform you that I have graduated as magna cum laude from the said course.
My experiences in obtaining this achievement humbles me to look back and give credit to the persons who helped me become what I am now.
Through this letter, I am graciously thanking you for the support that you have personally shown to us, scholars, through the years.
Truly, the scholarship had helped me a lot with my education. The program you offer is worthy of praise in that it opens doors for students like me who would want to attain a higher education.
I pray for your continued success and may you continue helping a lot of students achieve their dream for a brighter future.
Once again, thank you for everything.
Sincerely yours,
