I want to apply to a College in Denmark and I want to have a chance to be chosen, so I am requiring help from anyone that is kind enough to offer it. I would also like to use the experience of interacting with the users of this forum to get prepared for the English test (sort of TOEFL, but not exactly) that I am required to pass for that College. &lt;br /&gt;This is my letter of reference that I wrote for my teacher to sign. (I know this practice isn&amp;#39;t the right way, but my teacher was very busy, so he asked me to do so). I would appreciate if you could have a look at it and spot mistakes and unusual phrases, if there are any. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have replaced - [me] = my name &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strike&gt;begin&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;To Whom it May Concern,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am writing this letter as a recommendation for [me], a student at â[my school]â National College, in the quality of Teacher and Class Master at â[my school]â National College. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have known [me] for almost four years, and in this time he has proven to be an extremely valuable student, with a great potential for learning, surpassing many other students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, during the time I spent with [me] in class, I can say I got to know him quite well. He has proven to me that he has an ample knowledge in the field of technology, being capable of operating a PC and virtually any software and device. The student [me] is, without doubt, one of the most valuable students to whom I teach. He has participated in programming school contests, as well as other contests, like Kangourou European Contest of Applied Mathematics in 2007 and the Siemens Join Multimedia design contest, in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as I can say, he is a very conscious student, one of his greatest qualities is the ability to associate and use new information, so that he finds it very easy to understand a bigger concept and get the essential picture. Moreover, I have noticed that [me] progressed since I had first met him, in the way that now he is more mature, more capable of making right decisions. He has now reached a high level of intelligence and awareness and I can fully state that he is ready to meet the intellectual requirements that are demanded by a college course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[me] is a talented person, and very passionate when it comes to his ambitions. In a conversation we had a little time ago, I had learned that he is inclined toward computer designing, especially web sites. He had told me that he was studying diverse designing techniques and programming languages at home, so that one day he could be prepared for a job as a web designer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, despite the fact that [me] has focused on the field of technology and computers, he has a vast general knowledge and he is aware that by also studying other fields he could solve problems that are related to his choice field. He is a sociable person that accommodates in a group rather quickly, being able to handle teamwork efficiently. He knows when to listen and how, and he adapts his ideas to fit the project he is working on, therefore proving to be extremely flexible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All things considered, I strongly believe that [me] is the right choice for the Multimedia Design and Communication courses within the [my choice] College. His redoubtable qualities and abilities, along with his great potential render [me] able to respond to elevated academic standards and even to outperform them, in order to pursue his career prospects. I am utterly convinced that this student could be a valuable addition to a prestigious academic center, such as your college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours Faithfully,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strike&gt;end&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your time. &lt;br /&gt;p.s. I will also post my motivation letter as soon as it&amp;#39;s finished.</description></item><item><title>Re: URGENT ATTENTION BOSS: WOULD YOU PLS COMMENT ON 'MY MOTIVATION LETTER'</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/UrgentAttentionBossWouldMotivation-Letter/zlclh/post.htm#472420</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:08:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:472420</guid><dc:creator>Mister Micawber</dc:creator><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have reviewed your letter again, with suggested changes in bold.&amp;nbsp; I cannot follow all your colours and interjections, so I have merely amended as I think best (and some of them are improvements on my own previous suggestions):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program Code: &lt;/strong&gt;MKT2345&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;February 2, 2008&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dear Sir/Madam:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am writing to apply for&lt;b&gt; your&lt;/b&gt; Masterâs Programme in &amp;nbsp;***. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My educational background is in the principles and practices of&amp;nbsp;marketing &lt;b&gt;management&lt;/b&gt;.
I completed a three-year BBA (&lt;b&gt;Honours&lt;/b&gt;) IT program in 2004. My studies have
guided me through systematic &lt;b&gt;research&lt;/b&gt;, analytical thinking,
management of resources and information evaluation. &lt;b&gt;I completed&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;my&lt;/b&gt; MBA with specialization in marketing in
December 2005.&amp;nbsp; Marketing Management, Advertising, Sales Management,
Services Marketing, Business Strategy&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; Leadership Management&amp;nbsp;and Entrepreneurship&amp;nbsp;were among my favourite subjects &lt;b&gt;within&lt;/b&gt; the MBA program&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After completing my &lt;b&gt;MBA, I&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;started my career at an international level. In June 2006, I was employed as an Operations Supervisor for a large &lt;b&gt;supermarket chain&lt;/b&gt; in Saudi Arabia.&amp;nbsp; This &lt;b&gt;was valuable experience in leading&lt;/b&gt; a multinational team to plan&lt;b&gt; and&lt;/b&gt; manage the&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;availability&lt;/b&gt; of
thousands of&amp;nbsp;brands&amp;nbsp;with &lt;b&gt;complex&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;supplier&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;networks and&lt;/b&gt; demanding
&lt;b&gt;international&lt;/b&gt; customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;In addition to&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;daily supermarket operations&lt;/b&gt;, I have also been &lt;b&gt;analysing&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;leading brands&lt;/b&gt;. For &lt;b&gt;example, the key Saudi fresh dairy product brands&lt;/b&gt; are Almarai, Nadec, Nada, and Alsafi Danone. I have &lt;b&gt;been compiling&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;monthly&lt;/b&gt; sales figures&amp;nbsp; and &lt;b&gt;attempting&lt;/b&gt; to determine why Almarai is the top selling &lt;b&gt;brand.&amp;nbsp; My analysis&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;shows that Alamarai&amp;nbsp; management focuses on high quality product, packaging design, promotions (renting 60% of the category shelf space) and&amp;nbsp;advertising.&amp;nbsp; The company&amp;nbsp;uses&lt;b&gt; a &lt;/b&gt;strategy of market penetration to beat the competition&lt;b&gt;; promotion&lt;/b&gt;
emphasises brand strengths across segments and an intensive
distribution network is maintained locally.

&lt;p&gt;My two-year contract will soon&lt;b&gt; terminate&lt;/b&gt; and I have now been offered a Store Manager position, but I have a strong ambition to become a marketing/management specialist&lt;b&gt;, which I cannot do&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;without a fuller&lt;/b&gt; understanding of a specific marketing/management field.&amp;nbsp; Obtaining a one-year master's degree from *** means becoming a
specialist or &lt;b&gt;advancing&lt;/b&gt; a step towards &lt;b&gt;that goal&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have already met people from many
nations in Saudi Arabia, and I will further learn from others
while living in a new culture. I will make new friends from Europe,
will learn their life&lt;b&gt; styles&lt;/b&gt;, achieving my&amp;nbsp;objective of
personal growth, and when I complete my master's degree I will achieve
my objective of professional growth. &lt;b&gt;Your&lt;/b&gt; programme will equip me with
the necessary skills to continue to acquire new knowledge and
understanding throughout &lt;b&gt;my career.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope that the combination of my past experiences and academic education will qualify me as a University of *** master's programme candidate. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Don't EVER use an ampersand in a formal letter unless it is part of a book/course/etc title!)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Urgent!!!!
