I understand it to relate to a university application, and to be a statement of why you want to take this particular course at this particular institution.<br /><br />Best wishes, Clive<div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjdgr/post.htm#546312Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:47:18 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:546312Tanit4http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjdgr/post.htm#546312http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-546312.xmlHi N2G,<br /><br />To me, a motivation letter is one that you often have to write when applying to a University, especially for postgraduate courses (MSc/MA/PhD etc.). <br />It should mention why you are interested in a certain course/research topic, explain why you are a good candidate and why you should be chosen, and point out what the benefits for your future career are.<br /><br />It&#39;s a bit like advertising yourself! <img src="http://www.englishforums.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjdzc/post.htm#546297Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:24:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:546297New2grammar5http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjdzc/post.htm#546297http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-546297.xmlClive, I still don&#39;t understand why so many people call what I think is cover letter a motivation letter. What do you understand of motivation letter? It sounds like a written statement of a motivation talk, which is difficult to do without gestures and facial expressions.<div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjdvp/post.htm#546293Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:20:07 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:546293Clive6http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjdvp/post.htm#546293http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-546293.xmlHi,<br />It&#39;s best if you try to draft something yourself, and then post it here so that we can help you with it.<br />Writing&nbsp;letters is something a senior manager has to do every day, so it&#39;s good to practice.<br /><br />Best wishes, Clive<div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjcql/post.htmFri, 25 Jul 2008 11:17:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:546204pbsingh19677http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetter/gjcql/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-546204.xmlDear sir, <br />Please help me with some sample formats of motivation letter to apply for a senior management level position in an international university.<br />Thanx<div style="clear:both;"></div>
