Hi all,
I've prepared a letter of motivation and I don't know if it is good
enough or not. Please check and leave your comments. Any help from
anyone is appreciated.

>Dear Sir or Madam,
>>I am writing to you an application for the Master’s Degree in
Security and Mobile Computing in Helsinki University of Technology. I want to further
develope my knowledge, improve my life style and gain a broadened point of view
through this programme.
>>I graduated in Software Engineer in July 2005 from the University of Natural Sciences in Vietnam. My studies focused on distributed application, web services and ecommerce. My thesis
is about Service-oriented architecture. I then
worked for TMA Solution, an outsourcing branch of Nortel Network organization
in networking and telecommunication field. I like problem solving and figuring
things out. Facing challenges, team-work, creativity and flexibility are also
my strong points.
The reasons for me to have chosen this top-level programme
are many. Firstly, I want to further improve my strong technical skills, which
can be achieved by studying in Helsinki University of Technology TTK, whose
mobile communications researching and teaching is considered to be among the
best in the world. Secondly, we live in a very dynamic world, which requires
flexibility and creativity, people should get in touch with other languages and
cultures, not to mention networking. On this programme, I will have a chance to
meet different kinds of people and cultures that will give me different points
of view, hence contributing for flexibility and creativity, besides the
cultural gains. After I graduate, I intend to pursue my career in IT field. Last
but not least, I know that education and reality are different. But your
program will allow me to accomplish both.>>
To sum up, I consider my qualifications and interests, as
exposed above, to be sufficient to enable me to make a good course at your
programme and make good use of all the knowledge I gather throughout this
program in the future and later career. I really hope my application will be
considered and accepted. I look forward to your positive response.
Yours sincerely,
Long Hoang Nguyen"
