In many occasions in our lives, we need assistance. Floods, disasters, financial difficulties or health issues could be the best example of our need for assistance from the state, municipality or certain financial or health organizations. In those cases we need to write a proper sample letter of request for assistance. The sample letter of request for assistance should be written in formal manner due to persons it is addressed to, explaining the situation in what the person asking for assistance is in to and what king of assistance is needed. All of that should be contained in the Sample letter of request for assistance. In the following lines a sample letter of request for assistance is presented.

Dear Mr. Mars,

I am writing this sample letter of request for assistance related to the Programme by the U.S. Emergency Centre for disaster relief for housing recovery, as I am entitled for assistance from this Programme. Under the Section XXX of the Relief Act No. XXX of the U.S. Congress of MM.DD.YYYY, I am authorized to ask for an assistance due to disaster render at my property in cases where I do not have funds for repair, while your Agency is responsible for the assistance. So formally, I, Jonathan Schmidt, ask for small repair of damage on my house roof (as it is endangering the pedestrians on my street), damaged last October due the heavy rains which have flooded my district. I am eligible for assistance Under the Section XXX of the Relief Act No. XXX of the U.S. Congress of MM.DD.YYYY. As a prove, in the attachment of this sample letter of request for assistance, I am sending photographs, commission report on damage on my property and signed statement that I do not possess funds for the repair needed.

As I mentioned the roof of my house situated at Hilton Street 8900 in Sacramento, CA, has fallen down (as it can be seen on the photographs attached) endangering the pavement on the street. The damaged was caused due to the heavy rains last October, resulting with stream floods on the streets in Sacramento. As instructed by the Relief Act No. XXX of the U.S. Congress of MM.DD.YYYY, I have applied for repair of my property, and as prove I have enclosed my signed statement that I do not possess funds for the repair, as instructed in the Guidance of the Relief Act. In addition, I am sending the forms signed by the Damages Commission that the damage is caused by the heavy rains.

Upon your review of my initial request stated in this sample letter of request for assistance, I would like to discuss the availability of the repairmen, schedule and effort required to repair my house. Please do not hesitate to contact me at phone XXXXX or via this e-mail, for further discussion of my initial request.

Thank you very much in advanced,
