&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam, ( Is -&amp;nbsp; most distinguished Ladys and Gentlemen or To Whom it May Concern... - better? &lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;No!&amp;nbsp; But if you have a name, use the personâs name&lt;/FONT&gt;)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am writing to apply as an exchange student for the Sculpture Program at the National Academy of Arts for the winter semester 2007/08. I am an Austrian student attending my fourth semester of fine Arts, majoring in&amp;nbsp;âSculpture â Transmedial Spaceâ studies at the University of Arts and &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;I&lt;/FONT&gt;ndustrial Design in Linz, Austria. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;know&lt;/FONT&gt; that the experience of studying abroad &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;will help me to&lt;/FONT&gt; develop myself and &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;to&lt;/FONT&gt; improve my knowledge. It has been&amp;nbsp;my ambition to study at the National Academy for &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;the [or of ]&lt;/FONT&gt; Arts in Sophia since I first saw your website four months ago. The &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;university&lt;/FONT&gt; program in Sofia &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;is&lt;/FONT&gt; structured differently from my university's&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;,&lt;/FONT&gt; and&amp;nbsp;that is one reason for my decision and my interest in&amp;nbsp;applying&amp;nbsp;to your academy. For example, we do not have the opportunity&amp;nbsp;to work with materials like stone or bronze, and &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;we do not have such a clear focus on the natural world as the starting point for studies&lt;/FONT&gt;. &amp;nbsp;nor are our studies are based on the study of nature &lt;EM&gt;[this clause reads a little strangely - what do you mean here? Life drawing?](I do not know how do describe it in English â I do not mean Life drawing- I mean we do not have nature as example,&amp;nbsp; ideal or model for our works- we are not working in the tradition of naturalism â I do not find the word I am searching for and it is not in my dictionary âis it imaginable to explain what I mean?&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt; Is that something like it?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;.&lt;/FONT&gt; The stone sculptures from my portfolio are up to five years old. They are results of a six day workshop which is run once a year in a Roman sandstone pit in St. Margarethen im Burgenland, Austria. From the very first time I worked with stone I have been fascinated by this material. The possibility of learning&amp;nbsp;more in this area is another important reason&amp;nbsp;for my application. Our &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;courses in&lt;/FONT&gt; Sculpture - Transmedial Space programme &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;focus&lt;/FONT&gt; on experimental work in relation to space and situation-specific work. Through this education I want to develop&amp;nbsp;my &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;awareness and appreciation of the subtle details&lt;/FONT&gt; eye for fine variances &lt;EM&gt;[wrong word?&amp;nbsp;Not sure what you mean here]&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;( another word for minor differences) in my surroundings&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;; to see how tiny variations affect their environment; and from there develop my own projects.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;STRIKE&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRIKE&gt;which &amp;nbsp;[consider the social life to find a differential few and to learn to develop own projects]&lt;STRIKE&gt; &lt;/STRIKE&gt;&lt;EM&gt;- Sorry, I can't work out what you mean here.&amp;nbsp; Is there another way to say it?(minor differences pertaining the social life by means to find a differential view onto situations- to learn to develop own projects of(from) this situation. Is it possible to say it in this way: Through this education I&amp;nbsp; want to develop my eye for fine variances in my surroundings to find a differential view onto situations of the social life, to seek after new ideas to realize own projects.?&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;Is that something more like you mean?)&lt;/FONT&gt; &amp;nbsp;This is also a reason for me to search for an opportunity to study sculpture in a traditional form. I want to experience &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;an alternative approach to&lt;/FONT&gt; sculpture studies to broaden my outlook and explore how traditional and modern forms of sculpture can complement one another.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I was struck (fascinating -I always thought struck has got a negative association &lt;I&gt;â &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;no, can be positive too&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/I&gt;) by the description of the sculpture program at your university:&amp;nbsp; based on traditional foundations, but open to new ideas.&amp;nbsp;I think this also reflects Bulgaria as a country, in the political decision to become a member of the European Union. I am fascinated by the changes&amp;nbsp;the country has made and I think it is open to&amp;nbsp;new ideas. To me, it &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;feels like&lt;/FONT&gt; there is&amp;nbsp;a great forward movement to &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;develop in new directions,&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;EM&gt;[wrong word?]&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;(should I write objectives?) &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;and it is an exciting prospect to be in Bulgaria at this time of change.&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; that makes [it] &lt;EM&gt;[what do you mean -&amp;nbsp;Bulgaria, or being in Bulgaria at this time of change?] (both but for me it is more important to be there at the time of change)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;attractive. My ideas are very different, as are my projects. I often change my materials to find the right one for each idea. This&amp;nbsp;multi-dimensional approach is&amp;nbsp;also shown by my portfolio which I have put together&amp;nbsp;to provide an insight into my creative process. I would be&amp;nbsp;thrilled&amp;nbsp;if you gave me&amp;nbsp;the opportunity to learn from the skills of your Professors&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;,&lt;/FONT&gt; as well as the &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;chance to get to know and understand a little about the Bulgarian people and culture.&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; for an [interchange]&amp;nbsp;[wrong word] (exchange of ideas?)&amp;nbsp;with Bulgarian people.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(I am impressed by the descriptions of your program, and as I am particularly interested in&amp;nbsp;fine arts, I found the following highly interesting: &lt;EM&gt;[it doesn't seem&amp;nbsp;quite right to be quoting their own&amp;nbsp;prospectus back at them -&amp;nbsp;is this sentence necessary?]&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt; I am particularly intersted in fine arts, and&amp;nbsp;w&lt;/FONT&gt;ould like to take &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;the &lt;/FONT&gt;courses &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;in&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;sculpture, composition, drawing, history of art, working in material, aspects of modern sculpture, photography, aesthetics and foreign languages,&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt; tp develop my understanding of the theory and history of art, and to enable me to apply it more effectively to my own work.&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp; because they will enrich my knowledge and help me apply it&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;a higher standard. It would be a great pleasure for me to study in Bulgaria, not least&amp;nbsp;because of the course variety. I am eager to learn about such a distant culture &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;different from my own&lt;/FONT&gt; and &lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt;I will&lt;/FONT&gt; make the most&amp;nbsp;of the time I spend there.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
thank you for your reply and the correction of my letter of motivation!
I have tried to write clear but I am not certain if it works. I have
got my doubts about it... So I may ask you for another review to make
sure whats behind all this. (or forgotten)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be very nice if you can overview it oncemore! thanks a lot! I am so glad you have written me!&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir or
Madam, ( Is -&amp;nbsp;
most distinguished Ladys and Gentlemen or To Whom it May Concern...
- better?)&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am writing to apply
as an exchange student for the Sculpture Program at the National Academy of
Arts for the winter semester 2007/08. I am an Austrian student attending my
fourth semester of fine Arts majoring in&amp;nbsp;âSculpture â Transmedial Spaceâ studies
at the University of Arts and industrial Design in Linz, Austria. &lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;I am
convinced that the experience of studying abroad will be very helpful for me to
further develop myself and to improve my knowledge. It has been&amp;nbsp;my
ambition to study at the National Academy
for Arts in Sophia since I first saw your website four months ago. The
university program in Sofia seems to be structured
differently from my university's, and&amp;nbsp;that
is one reason for my decision and my interest in&amp;nbsp;applying&amp;nbsp;to your
academy. For example, we do not have the opportunity&amp;nbsp;to work with
materials like stone or bronze, nor are our studies are based on the study of
nature &lt;em&gt;[this clause reads a little strangely -
what do you mean here? Life drawing?](I do not
know how do describe it in English â I do not mean Life drawing- I mean we do
not have nature as example,&amp;nbsp; ideal or
model for our works- we are not working in the tradition of naturalism â I do
not find the word I am searching for and it is not in my dictionary âis it
imaginable to explain what I mean?)&lt;/em&gt;. The
stone sculptures from my portfolio are up to five years old. They are results
of a six day workshop which is run once a

area is another important reason&amp;nbsp;for

focuses on experimental work in relation to space and situation-specific work.
Through this education I want to develop&amp;nbsp;my eye for fine variances &lt;em&gt;[wrong word?&amp;nbsp;Not sure what you mean here]&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;( another word for minor differences) in my
surroundings which [consider the social life to find a differential few and to
learn to develop own projects] &lt;em&gt;- Sorry, I
can't work out what you mean here.&amp;nbsp; Is there another way to say it?(minor differences pertaining the social life by means to

of(from) this situation. Is it possible to say it in this way: Through this
education I&amp;nbsp; want to develop my eye for
fine variances in my surroundings to find a differential view onto situations
of the social life, to seek after new ideas to realize own projects.? ) &lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;This is also a reason for me to search for an
opportunity to study sculpture in a traditional form. I want to experience
another kind of sculpture studies to broaden my outlook and explore how
traditional and modern forms of sculpture can complement one another.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;I was
struck (fascinating
-I always thought struck has got a negative association) by the
description of the sculpture program at your university:&amp;nbsp; based on
traditional foundations, but open to new ideas.&amp;nbsp;I think this also reflects
Bulgaria as a country, in the political decision to become a member of the
European Union. I am fascinated by the changes&amp;nbsp;the
country has made and I think it is open to&amp;nbsp;new ideas. To me, it seems
there is&amp;nbsp;a great forward movement to develop new aims &lt;em&gt;[wrong word?]&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(should
I write objectives?) and that makes [it] &lt;em&gt;[what do you
mean -&amp;nbsp;Bulgaria, or being in Bulgaria at this time of change?] (both but for me it is more important to be there at the
time of change)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;attractive.
My ideas are very different, as are my projects. I often change my materials to

skills of your Professors as well as the chance for an
[interchange]&amp;nbsp;[wrong word] (exchange of ideas?)&amp;nbsp;with Bulgarian people.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;(I am impressed by the descriptions
of your program, and as I am particularly interested in&amp;nbsp;fine arts,
I found the following highly interesting: &lt;em&gt;[it
doesn't seem&amp;nbsp;quite right to be quoting their own&amp;nbsp;prospectus back at
them -&amp;nbsp;is this sentence necessary?]&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp&lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink [;)]" /&gt;I would like to take these
courses&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;sculpture, composition,
drawing, history of art, working in material, aspects of modern sculpture,
photography, aesthetics and foreign languagesâ&lt;em&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;because they will enrich my knowledge and help me apply it&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;a higher standard. It would
be a great pleasure for me to study in Bulgaria, not
least&amp;nbsp;because of the course variety. I am eager to learn about such

I chose Master in International Project Leadership.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pls have a look at my letter &amp;amp; feel free to point out what is not good. Many thanks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;PS: 1.Could you pls explain about the "funny
letter". Did I make it ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2.Which clause mgiht be subsitituted "Dear Sir or Madam" ?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Dear Professors in Admission Board,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am honored to be chosen as an exchange student, who has a chance to study at your university in the academic year 2006-2007. After getting 2 diplomas from University of Law and Economics University, I sought for improving my knowledge by joining the MBA program at the ... university. And now, with the opportunity from France, I hope to have another Masterâs degree in International Project Leadership.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The main reason I chose this program is that in the market economy of Vietnam, there is a continually increasing need for projects, not only in business sector. I would like to intercept this trend. Currently I am designing a plan of a project which will last for 2 years and will cover the claim activities of all life insurance companies in Vietnam. With the foundation from this national project, I will spread a similar, but larger in scale, project over the Indochina. Since France has dual advantages: being a highly developed country in the Europe as well as being well-known in Asian region, it will be a good chance for me to obtain the occidental information at your university and apply it more effectively to our oriental environment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Personally, as an extrovert and joyful man, I prefer community-like activities. Like to speak in front of a crowd, I actually have no problem driving the audience to the main points. Prefer quick decision rather than deeply thoughts, sometime good, but under other circumstances possibly bad, I still enjoy the venture and assume the responsibility from my fast responses. Obviously, this leads to a backward in my ability to predict long-term consequences. Even at that difficult time, I know the way to help my teammates to release by the gifted sense of humor. Is it not necessary? If not, you should forget me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, the knowledge is never a waste. Having been aware that how many fields a project will involve, I have equipped myself with basic knowledge in legal and financial field, all are important issues. Today, I need a guidance to carry out and I wait to receive it from you. It will be the mutual benefit, I can guarantee.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope that with the above arguments, you have enough information to reach the conclusion. However, if I fail this time, I will try to convince other universities until I receive the passport to the future.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;br&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

But now I cannot continus to simplize it while facing what I wrote. &lt;br /&gt;In my eyes, all of the words are useful. I know they are not as useful as I think, but I cannot stopping feeling that. I need your help, dear MountainHiker! In my letter,I'm trying to express my idea completedly and accurately that makes me hard to remove so many adj. , adv. and clauses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greetings from Cheng Ying in China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am applying for the Engineering program (Diplome d'Ingenieur)at a member institution of N+I. I believe the N+I program could help me to further strengthen my strong technical skills by acquiring cutting-edge expertise in automation and allowing me to scale higher academic and professional goals in my future career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I graduated with a Bachelor Degree of Engineering in 2003 from Nanjing University of Science &amp; Technology. My major was automation. Thus I have a strong background in such topics as control theory, distributed systems control, and process control. (1)Moreover, I have experience in single chip machine programming and Series-Parallel Communications.After graduation, I worked for LG Electronics at their monitor factory to represent my company and to coordinate with the foreign Customers as Original Equipment Manufacturer, in order to push new projects and help to maintain the quality. Because of my outstanding performance, I was offered oversea training opportunities in South Korea as a high potential individual. I am proud of both my academic and work related achievements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, while facing manufacture process control problems, I came to recognize my knowledge is limited in many areas such as manufacture system control and management, quality control system based on data gathering and process monitoring. So that I plan to further study on advanced automation; thus I could become a professional engineer in China after graduation. Then with several years experience as an automation engineer, I would become an international product engineer or manufacture engineer as I envision. More importantly, nowadays in China, a diploma of engineer earned in France is very valuable since France represents the advanced systemic education of engineers and also because the multinational environment in French institutions can make me understand different cultures better and become internationalized. Besides the program itself, French is the most beautiful language in the world, which attracts me to go to France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Internet, I find that the Diploma of Engineer provided by a N+I member institution can help me greatly in the field I want. To take advantage of your admirable faculty and immense resources will definitely give me the best chance of boosting my study and research. Moreover, the special service and transition semester provided by N+I will help me to melt in French life and study.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would appreciate your serious consideration over my application. I had pondered seriously before sending this application. I understand that admission into your school is competitive, but I also understand that Iâm qualified, eager and prepared to meet all of the challenges I will be presented with. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to your early reply!! Thank you!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best wishes and have a nice day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely yours,&lt;br /&gt;Cheng Ying&lt;br /&gt;faux_air@hotmail.com&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;1) They are specialy expressions in my major, I think they should not be deleted.&lt;br /&gt;2) The totally number of the characters are 3000, still over the requirement (no more than 2500)&lt;br /&gt;3) I forgot to ask you if my format is perfect as a motivation letter. What should I do to make it look better.</description></item></channel></rss>
