Subject: REQUEST FOR TOELF/IELTS Waiver

Dear Sir/Ma,
 
My name is Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi. I had my BS and MS from Nigeria. My mode of instruction
from elementary school to university education was in English Language.

I am interested in applying to your reputable institution and I will be glad to know if I am

exempted from TOELF/IELTS.
 
Cheers,
Olumuyiwa
