''He is an orphan under the care of his uncle, who cannot afford to send him to senior high school. We would be much grateful if you could assist him financially to further his education,'' portions of the letter said.

Ghanaian social media user Rachel Ankomah (@RachelAnkomahRL) also shared the letter and the boy's results on Twitter, which garnered reactions.

"Dear fellow Ghanaians, I now pray for your benevolent and philanthropic heart. Angmortey Jonathan is a former public school candidate who has excelled in the 2022 BECE.

"His dream to further his education is in limbo as there's no parent nor relative to cater for," she said.

Netizens react to Rachel's appeal for help

I see such posts, like how I mean how religion has failed this country. Such a person's parent should be able to walk into a Church or a Mosque and quickly come out with a fully funded scholarship.
