Letter from your Parent(s)
If you are going to be financially supported by your parents you must provide your Birth
Certificate (with a professional translation in English) and a letter from them. This letter
must be in English or if not, it must be accompanied by a professional English
translation.
The letter should confirm the following:
• their name
• the relationship between you and them
• the amount of money available (this should be the same as on their bank
statement)
• that they give their consent to the money being used for your education in the
UK.
You will also need to include their original bank statements from last month as evidence
that the money promised is really available.
Below is an example of a sponsor letter. Parents can use this letter to create their own
by filling in the blanks in italics:
