dear sir:

　　thank you for your e-mail and kind offer! definitely, i would like to try to apply for a visa for the winter quarter. i understand that both you and professor black have tried very hard to help me with my situation and i appreciate your efforts.

　　as it is true that nobody really knows why the visa officers refuse certain applicants and allow others, i have been told by several successful visa re-applicants that re-applying with a new i-20 with a slightly different offer from the us schools would help. for example, a slight increase in financial aid and so on. i don't know whether this is something possible for you to consider for my situation. but i would really appreciate if you could consider some possibilities. i know that i have given you enough trouble and please ignore my request if it is too difficult for you to do. i will simply try my best to get my visa and come to your school.

　　thanks!

sincerely yours,
