Dear Sir or Madam,
RE: A Request for Financial Aid due to the Covid-19 Adverse Impacts
As the subject above refers, I am writing to request your consideration to include me in the financial aid scheme due to my declined financial income. I am a self-employed parent who owns a film production company and a medical beauty center in Hong Kong. The Coronavirus pandemic has adversely affected both of our businesses and led to a reduction in income.
The pandemic has affected the film industry nationally and worldwide, leading to a closure of the majority of businesses in the sector. Although our company did not close down, the closure of other significant companies such as theaters has negatively affected our operations. The pandemic hit unexpectedly, and the theaters’ closure came when we were yet to release the previously completed film projects. Similarly, the closure of both China and Hong Kong cinemas left us with no alternative but to keep waiting with no substantial income. We have been patiently waiting for the situation to improve so that we can release the films upon the opening of theaters, but none has been opened. In effect, we continue to suffer the scarcity of having very little income at the moment, with no alternative to pursue.
On the other hand, the medical beauty center has been closed, yet we still pay both the rent and the workers. Terminating such expenditures would mean ending the business entirely, which would worsen the situation. For the above reasons, we are operating at barely any financial returns, which has created a financial crisis not just for the businesses but for personal and family sustenance.
It is my humble request that you consider the above situation and offer any financial assistance you may deem appropriate. Hopeful that you will attend to this matter with your esteemed support, I thank you in advance.
Yours Faithfully,
Signed
Name of the Parent
