Informal applicaton letter?!

innna_binnna — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 16:54:32 GMT

Hi everybody,

My name is Ina and I have a little problem, which, I hope we can solve together

I want to apply to one university for my Master studies, and I am preparing my documents right now. However, I am a little bit confused, because they want from me an informal application letter and separately two pages of my study motivations.

Does somebody know what should this informal letter include? I mean, it is clear that the most important part is this with my motivations, so....I need help!

Thanks a lot!

Application letter for a nursery school -

AndyAstronaut — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 14:41:18 GMT

Dear forum members,

We would like to enroll our son in an English nursery school - admission is very difficult (at this age!!). Though we belive our English is acceptable for normal communication, we are not too sure about formal letter writing. We appreciate any corrections/tips/help. Thank you very much

Martha

Dear Sir/Madam:

>>

We would like to apply for our sonÂ´s admission to your nursery school in 2007. Our sonÂ´s name is Jamshed and he is 16 months old.

After having spoken to a friend of ours, Dr. Ravi Chandra, whose children are attending St. PaulÂ´s, we believe your school can provide a good and stimulating environment for our son. Dr. Chandra suggested that we contact you early on, due to the growing demand for enrollment in the nursery school. >>

An important motivation for selecting a multinational school is our personal background. My husband Koti was born in India (his mother is Indian) and raised in China, where he visited an international school. Our family and many of our friends are spread all over the world - India, Britain, United States, Australia and Singapore - so English has become the de facto lingua franca. Apart from the language aspect, we believe that an early exposure to another culture is particularly helpful for a young child. >>

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the above address or by phone at (1234) 5678. We thank you for considering our application, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. >>

Yours sincerely,

>>

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the tip Nona; however: what do you mean by the "application letter"?

All nona was referring to was having your detailed explanation separate from your main letter. Rather than cluttering up your main letter with a long detailed explanation, keep the two items separate. You can simply refer to the long detailed explanation attachment in your main letter.

Good luck.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip Nona; however: what do you mean by the "application letter"? At the moment I'm only enquiring, questioning and generally - analyzing.

And by the way I have learned that all of my extracurricular activities will be taken into account in the admission process, alongside my demanded academic achievements from Matura somewhere between 91-100%. That's from University College, London - a promised update;].
And so I came to a conclusion - a truly revealing one;] - that I'll just have to do my best at my final exam and maintain a good overall school record.
Now I'm working on one thing and that happens to be a âwake-up missionâ. I have to signal the existence of Nowa Matura to Admissions Offices of universities of my interest. And since I will have to get very high percentage in order to pursue admission on LLB programme at UCL I might as well widen my area of interests to King's College, Oxford (open application for int. students) and London School of Economics.

I've sent an e-mail to the Admissions Office of SOAS; it was almost a copy of the letter to UCL which Mountain Hiker helped me to form. (To be precise: wrote for me ;]).

Now Iâm writing another e-mail, this time to King's College and I'll have it done before 14:00 (Washington). They provide information for students from Poland; however based on old Matura. Also I need to know all about Access Courses they offer (if any).

Bye,
Off to immerse into http://www.kcl.ac.uk/ ;]

This might be a bit late but personally I would sent two separate pages.

Make one the application letter and do a separate sheet explaining the polish exam system. Then in the letter you can put something along the lines of 'Please see the attached sheet for futher infomation on Polish qualifications' at the relevant point. That way, they have the infomation easily at hand if they need to go and consult/research it, and they don't have to plow through the whole lot if they don't need to.
