&lt;P&gt;I'm writing a motivation letter for internship in USA,&amp;nbsp; since I'm not so well in letter writing, and have a feeling that it misses smth important&amp;nbsp;and&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would&amp;nbsp; like a professional eye to look on it. Other sad thing is the deadline for sending it is this week, so quick, brief or&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;any comments, suggestions and critics are very welcome.&amp;nbsp;OK, here goes:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;--&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Vilnius,&amp;nbsp;9 January 2007&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am writing to apply for participation in&amp;nbsp;[internship program name] in&amp;nbsp;******,&amp;nbsp;USA.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My name is [name], a flexible and highly motivated student at Vilnius University, Lithuania, currently studying in the second year of a four year bachelorâs degree in computer science.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I was always willing to participate in creating outstanding products that reach professional and home environments worldwide, also giving an enjoyable feeling that I have a part in it. I believe that internship in your company, working in both creative and challenging environment, will provide an opportunity for gaining a valuable experience to build strong foundations for professional programming skills and will acquire new contacts, invaluable for my further career. Further more, working abroad, provides a rare possibility to see things from the outside, from a completely different angle, that I believe, is extremely important in professional and cultural backgrounds. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Personally, I define myself as a dynamic and creative, goal-oriented team player, eager to give the most of myself to achieve the best results possible. Also I am currently working as C/C++ teacher.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am confident that being familiar with different programming language climates, teamwork and teaching C/C++ experience&lt;B&gt; &lt;/B&gt;gives me enough knowledge and I will make me a good candidate for this internship, taking as much as possible from it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you very much for your time and consideration of my application. I am looking forward to your positive response.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;[name]&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;--&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A few more questions:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;should I include more personality relating information? 
&lt;LI&gt;is the date placement OK and is it necessary?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
