Dear Teacher,
Im planning to study French language in France and will need to apply for long stay visa. I was asked by the embassy to write a motivation letter with the following points:-
1) Introduction of myself (Qualification, working experience)
2) Why i choose french?
3) What my future plans or goals after my language?
I have drafted the letter and need someone to help me to check it.
Thank you for your time in advance.

In connection with my application for long stay student visa, I am enclosing the following statement concerning my life, profession activities, and future plans.
My name is Jazzlynn. I graduated from Stamford College, Malaysia in 1998, majoring in Business Administration, UK.
After completion of my diploma in Business Studies, I joined a German-Swiss company (XYZ Bhd) as a Secretary to General Manager where my work mainly involves interacting with our European counterparts for any correspondence and create an opportunity for me to communicate with people around Europe.
In year 2005 (till now), I was offered in an American company, ABC Bhd as a Senior Sales Administrator. My work involves organizing meetings and events, sales reports and other administrative correspondence, which also gave me the opportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people in different levels. This is very gratifying experience for me, which I feel will stand me in good stead in the future.
Under the influence of my close friend in my 1st company (XYZ Bhd) who is French in Europe, I subsequently developed an interest in French language and their culture. It was also my first company that formed as the motivation behind my interest in French. I have been studied basic French on my own (books and CD). Furthermore, I have just visited Europe (France, Germany & Switzerland) this May’07. It has created a stronger interest in me to experience and learn about French and their culture. Having always enjoyed interacting with people, I decided to do french in France. Why? Because I think that is the fastest way to learn and experience their language/culture when you are at their country.
By doing French, it will increase my level of communication skills, as I planned to work in the hospitality industry or translator because it allows me to interact with people from all around the world and also mainly because I enjoyed communicating with people with different cultures. In the future, I think I would enjoy a career involving languages and would like to be able to visit different countries whilst working.
To conclude, I am a highly enthusiastic and innovated person who works well alone or as part of a team. I have an excellent range of interpersonal skills, including prioritization of work, managing my time effectively, flexible and able to adapt to all situation with ease.
Thank you.
