Really need help with deferral request letter...please

Question

I want to defer my admission to a university to fall 2009 and I have to write a letter to the admissions deparment of the univeristy requesting this. I can't afford the tuition fees right now so I want to spend the year between then either working to come up with the money OR taking the year of to relax and hope that my parents come up with the money. The thing is that I am a "numbers person" rather than a "words person" and I don't know how to put this in a letter.

I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with a link to a sample letter or help me with writing the letter. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)
