I have to write a (fictive) formal letter to a university, applying for a grant. It's very urgent because it has to be handed in on Monday! Can you correct the letter, see if there is enough relevant information, if things are clear and in the right order, and so on? Is my language enough formal? Dear Sir or Madam,  I am writing this letter because I am interested in applying for a grant to study at the Department of Applied Language Studies in the academic years 2007-2008. Lessius University College is one of our partner institution for languages and therefore I would like to continue my study for one year in Belgium and follow the programme ‘3rd year Bachelor Applied Language Studies: German-French’. Currently, I’m taking courses such as: Aspects of Legal French, Environment in Germany, French Language, French Grammar, Introduction to French Translation, German Language, Theory and Practice of German Translation,… It has given me a good base to be able to study abroad.  As a student of ‘Modern Languages: German-French’ at the University of Central Lancashire, I have the opportunity to spent the third year abroad. I have opted to study as an Erasmus exchange student in Belgium, because, once I will have graduated, I hope to find a job there. French, but also and , to a lesser degree, German are popular languages in Belgium. Furthermore, I definitely would like to learn Dutch. The reason for this is due to the fact that, after several visits to your country, I have become attracted by the Belgian culture and language. Studying abroad gives me the opportunity to immerse myself in the Belgian culture and possibly become more fluent in the language. Although I already followed a summer course in Dutch in the Netherlands a few years ago, my knowledge of this language is not yet intimate enough. As a consequence, I am willing to take the Crash Course Dutch, which is organized by Lessius University College to allow students to follow courses taught in Dutch.  Moreover, spending a year abroad gives me the chance to discover new strengths and abilities. I will encounter situations which are unfamiliar to me. I am highly motivated to meet this new challenge, which will probably make me become more independent. In my opinion, it will be a life-changing experience.  I hope to be accepted as an applicant in the academic years 2007-2008. I am confident that I fulfill all requirements.  I look forward to receiving your reply. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, (name)
