【正确答案】[参考范文]
Dear Sir or Madam,
   I would like to apply for admission to the master's program in art at your graduate school, beginning in the fall of 2017.
   In the summer of 2017, I will graduate as a bachelor of arts from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, China, where I major in Art. I have completed all the required undergraduate courses with satisfactory scores. Official copies of my transcript and of my TOEFL and GRE scores are being sent from the offices concerned. Three recommendation letters are also being sent by my professors. And because I do not have enough funds to finance my education, I would like to apply for a scholarship.
   I am looking forward to your early reply. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further supporting documents are needed. You can contact me by e-mail at wanglin@163.com. Thank you for your kind assistance in this matter.
