Discussing Support Diplomatically

Every middle-class parent who has a kid overseas would know the hardship in supporting him or her when the studious student is doing his or her studies there. Here are letters that convey in a diplomatic manner how the sensitive topic of financial assistance can be handled in a gentlemanly manner.

Dear Dad,

Dear Son,
I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.
Love,
Dad
