Hi,

Have a look at this UK Govt. site.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/studyingintheuk/adult-students/documents-and-proof/proof-of-availability-of-money/

Here is an excerpt.

Financial sponsorship means you are given money to cover your course fees and living costs. If your financial sponsor is only covering some of your course fees or living costs, you must show that you have the rest of the money needed.

You should provide a letter of confirmation from your official financial sponsor. This may be Her Majesty's government, your home government, the British Council or any international organisation, company or university.

The letter must be on official letter-headed paper or stationery of the organisation of the official financial sponsor and have the official stamp of that organisation on it.

The letter should show:

your name;
the name and contact details of your official financial sponsor;
the date of the letter;
the length of your sponsorship; and
the amount of money you have or a statement that your official financial sponsor will cover all of your fees and living costs.

If you have official sponsorship that only covers part of your money needed, you must provide a letter which shows:

your name;
the name and contact details of your official financial sponsor;
the date of the letter;
the length of your sponsorship; and
the amount of the money they will give you; and
proof that you have the rest of the money needed.
