Hello,
I'll be really glad if somebody checks my motivation letter draft too. I've gone through this forum and copied some ideas and even senteces into that. I'm not sure if I can ask you also for grammar correction, but if somebody correct (maybe "fills in" is more appropriate, plenty of them are missing <img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /> the articles and tenses, I'll really appreciate that. I'm going to enclose this text and my CV to a short email with application. Thank you a lot!

Jan

Here it is:

Dear Sir / Madam,

With this letter I wish to explain my interest for taking part in PhD project "***" which is proposed by the *** team.

I believe my motivation for applying for the position can be better understood considering my study path so far. I started my bachelor studies of Computer Science at *** Faculty of *** University in *** with clear intention to continue with master studies at the same place. After completing my bachelor degree I've chosen a specialization on Software Systems. From the beginning of my master studies I've been focusing on the field of formal methods in software development and especially on model-checking. During that stage I won the scholarship for excellent study results and finally I got my master degree this January with overall grade 1.

While working on my master thesis focused on model-checking of concurrent systems, I decided to get deeper knowledge in the field of formal verification and software reliability. I started to look for research groups and laboratories concentrating on these topics. I realized that *** group is dealing exactly with the problems I'm interested in and I immediately decided to apply for a PhD position in your team right after finishing my master studies. To get broader survey in the area of formal verification I started to attend a seminar, where many scientists focused on this topic present their current results. I also attend an intensive everyday course of French since September to reach at least basic level of the language.

My choice of my former university and faculty was based on general belief that this institution is the most challenging and provides the education of the highest quality in my country. This fact helped me to make my best while studying there. But now I appreciate an opportunity to focus on an exciting research topic even more than high demands imposed on students. I consider the *** group to be both the great challenge and the place of projects exactly corresponding to my research interests. I think of that as of opportunity to get broader view of formal methods and security and to take part in the top-class research project with exciting goals.

I'm convinced that I can contribute to the above-mentioned project because of the experience gained from my master thesis and during my master studies. In my work I dealt with model-checking, implementation of temporal logic, formal specification, modeling language design, semantics and translation. I believe that I can apply my knowledge of program verification in your project and that it is an excellent opportunity to get an expertise in the field of my utmost interest. I consider program verification and reliability being crucial for further development of software industry and I definitely want to take part in research of this area. From my part I have no doubts about my motivation and commitment and I believe that I am a suitable candidate for this PhD position.

Yours respectfully,
my name

Here goes my letter of motivation. I will appreciate any suggestions and comments to improve it. Thanks in advance!

Some notes:

COUNTRY_NAME = my resident country

XYZ = employer's name

*************************************************

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to apply for a position of Project Manager / Multimedia Developer (reference no. 00000) as advertised on XYZâs on-line vacancy bulletin.

I first became interested in multimedia development and web-based applications twelve years ago. Since 2001, I am working as a project manager and developer in a leading internet agency in my country. As of March 2004, I am in charge for communication, management and execution of all online activities of ABC_CORPORATION in COUNTRY_NAME. The list of my responsibilities includes communication with the HQ office and local companies, website design, content development and update, adaptation of various online/ offline campaigns and presentations, research and invention of new channels for communication with target audience. During my practice I have developed a vast range of skills, for example: analysing complex numerical and verbal information, clear, concise writing for different contexts, working enthusiastically and productively under pressure, dealing professionally with a wide range of people, working in a variety of teams and on my own initiative, overcoming obstacles. I am comfortable in sourcing and handling data electronically. Making movies like the Flash presentation I've attached as a sample of my work is such an enjoyable experience, because I know how to turn content requirements into a multimedia concept by selecting the most appropriate choice of multimedia. I have a knack of the latest technologies which help me to evaluate rapidly project essentials, determine terms and deadlines, execute in full the project.

As you can see on my CV I lead a busy life through my daily responsibilities and various business activities, which has meant that I have very quickly learnt the importance of time management. I have always handed my work in on time and never missed a deadline. My communication skills have greatly developed through my work experience with ABC_CORPORATION and its markets in Central and Eastern Europe.

For the period of my management and fulfillment of the ABC_CORPORATION on-line activities, the ABC_CORPORATION recognizes COUNTRY_NAME as the fastest growing market in terms of Internet presence. My dedication to work and pursuit for perfection convinced ABC_CORPORATION to choose COUNTRY_NAME as a pilot market for several web-based projects and desktop applications. As of 2007 I am the person responsible for terms negotiation, concept development, execution and language adaptation of ABC_CORPORATION websites in COUNTRY_1, COUNTRY_2, COUNTRY_3, and COUNTRY_4.

XYZ position as a leading organization attracts me and I feel XYZ offers the opportunity to work with the type of people and projects that I am seeking. I feel I perform to a high standard and have a range of relevant skills that I can bring to XYZ.

I would be very keen to find out more about XYZ aims and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. I hope you will consider my application favourably and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME

Should I mention example production in my motivation letter?

BMX — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:02:20 GMT

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you to all the people who are supporting this website and the posts of the Forum Gurus, who helped me to understand the essentials of writing a letter of motivation.

I'm based in EU and I'm applying for a job as a multimedia developer. It is required to provide one example of my multimedia production. I plan to submit a flash movie which I have developed recently.

My questions are:

1. Should I mention this example in my motivation letter supplying more details about it or to attach the file with no extra explanations? Just to note that the application is online (no paper copies of the CV and LoM).

2. Should I put my name, address and telephone number at the top right corner of the LoM?

Looking forward to your replies.

P.S.: Once I have a draft of my Motivation letter I will post it here.

Hi all,

I'm Indonesian and I will apply to Dutch Studies program at Leiden University next year. Please take a look at my motivation letter. It's started pretty straightforward and I'm wondering if it would sounds strange. This letter doesn't include very much details such as my age, nationality, enrollment year etc as those qualifications have beeen mentioned in the CV. Any comments will be highly appreciated.

LETTER OF MOTIVATION

Basically I donât have any formal education background in linguistic field. I took accounting degree and have been working in the field of accounting ever since. Yet, though limited, I grew up hearing and speaking several languages: Javanese, Dutch and English. My grandmother speaks Dutch fluently and my mother and aunt took English major back in the university. As a child, I already learned how to count and speak simple sentences in Dutch. I learned my first English by watching television and reading comic books and when I went to a traditional market I liked using Javanese to be able to bargain more.

Living in Indonesia with its many tribes and each tribe with its own vernaculars, I find it amusing to see how people react once they know you can speak even a little bit of their language. Iâm also interested in seeing how language and culture are closely affects each other. I supposed that is the reason why I typically look to work in an international environment. Even within accounting division, my tasks often require me to deal with people from different countries. My first employment was at EF where besides accounting experiences, I also learn a lot about communication from having to deal with teachers from many different countries such as USA, UK and Australia. My second employment again required me to deal with suppliers from China and Malaysia, and my present employment put me in high frequencies of written communication with staffs from India, Hong Kong, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Spain. All those experiences enhance not only my interest in languages but also my social and communication skill. Though not directly related to my previous study, my past employments combined with my interest in language has encouraged me to take deeper study.

As an accountant, I was trained to analyze things closely. It became habit and I analyze almost everything, many times also myself. After some years in accounting field I realized that even though I enjoyed being an accountant, I also have ability in communicating with people. I enjoy analyzing people, listening to their problems and then trying to help them find the best solutions available. I like to state things into diplomatic arguments, to assure peopleâs acceptance of some circumstances or ideas [U1] . Those aptitude combined with deeper study in language will be a great personal asset. For that reason I would like to develop my skills in language and communication. In the future I was looking for careers in an international field that mainly could fulfill my thirst of challenge, whether in accounting, communication or linguistic capacity that somehow enable me to contribute into the societyâs benefit; such as in the non profit organization or governmental institution.

While English is the first foreign language I speak fluently [U2] , my specific interest in Dutch language grew among others because Dutch has been a very familiar language for me, even before I started to learn English. The historical bound between Indonesia and the Netherlands put the Netherlands into one of the first foreign country I learnt about at school. My interest in the Dutch Studies program at Leiden University has much to do with the information I obtain regarding its interdisciplinary program and some good references I acquired from my Dutch course teachers and families staying in the Netherlands[U3] . With its international orientation, complete curriculum and highly qualified lecturers, Iâm ensured that this program is the best place to learn about the Netherlands, its language, history and culture.

In the past few years I have gained knowledge and capability needed to undertake this study. My professional experiences have strengthened my self-managerial skill, and my personal maturity makes me reliable and responsible. My familiarity with international environment will help me to adapt socially. Iâm fond of sports, reading, dancing and singing; which tells that Iâm a casual person. But then again, I like challenges and Iâm serious in relation to matters I decide to achieve. Iâm well aware of the programâs heavy load especially during the first year, and Iâm prepared to comply with all the requirements this programâs offering.

[U1]Anybody understand what I meant here?

[U2]Should I just delete this sentence?

[U3]Does this part have dual meaning? Between "my family" or "my Dutch course teachersâ family"?

Re: please Check grammer the Motivation letter urgent !

Hi,

your letter has many flaws:

1. way too long for a covering letter,

2. your motivation isn't clear after all

3. the letter isn't coherent

4. the letter repeads a bit the information given in the CV. In order to write a good letter you have to pick the points from the CV which fullfil the application criteria

Under this circumstances I have trouble to correct it. Take a good example and write it completely new. I suspekt that the current letter is a translation from your mother tongue. Seek for a good example through the Internet.

Kind regards,

Kathrin

Letter - PhD

Velzev — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 18:36:34 GMT

Dear all:
I am applying for a PhD, to which I need to send a cover/motivation letter. Could you please peruse it for me and let me know how to improve it.
Many thanks in advance,
Roman.

"Dear Professor, ***:

I am writing to inquire about the availability of a Ph.D. position in your group (in 2008). The date of my graduation from Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (Moscow, Russia) is 30.06.2008.

My research interests include physics of petroleum macromolecules: intermolecular interactions (dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonds, etc.), molecular association (including Ï-Ï stacking), and a new phase formation. The aim of my research work concerned the application of modern physical methods (first of all, spectroscopic) for evaluation of properties and phase behavior of system, containing petroleum macromolecules (asphaltenes, resins, and paraffins). The control of these properties finds wide application in modern petroleum industry.

I have specifically focused my efforts on the van der Waals intermolecular interactions in petroleum system. I also studied the adsorption phenomena in these systems (onto solid and liquid surfaces). My main research tools were dielectric, fluorescence and infrared spectroscopy.

I believe that a Ph.D. position in your laboratory will provide me with the support and challenge which I am looking for. My main goal is to work on original and challenging projects which results can find wide industrial applications.

I am very interested in your research group and would be very enthusiastic to join it. If you find my previous (âpetroleumâ) experience uninteresting, Iâm ready to take part in another project of your laboratory.

A copy of my curriculum vitae (CV) is enclosed. Additional publications are expected in the next future. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours, YYY"

Re: I need your suggestions-Motivation Letter for LLM Program

Kathrin — Mon, 14 May 2007 17:34:09 GMT

This isn't a motivation letter, more a mix between CV and a letter. The right term is though: cover letter (US)/covering letter (UK).

It would be helpful, if you make a research and see some sample before writing the letter. It this form it is pointless to correct it. The cover letter has a form and you have to stick to this form . This is very important because otherwise it makes a very unprofecional impression like in your case. A law graduate has to know about cover letter. With the present letter your chances for LLM are 0 even if the English is perfect. Sorry, if I am to hard with you but I am trying to help:-)

Form

1) Introduction
a) I would like to apply....
b) Explaining how you found the ad.

2) Why I am the right person for the position.
a)Referring to any relevant experience.
b)Highlighting particular skills, qualications or accomplishments.

3) Referring to future contact
