Congratulations! I find that the thing that casts a small shadow over it is somehow the lack of order and the lenght of the phrases. I&amp;#39;m sure my correcting won&amp;#39;t make it perfect, but here&amp;#39;s a suggestion:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dear&amp;nbsp;Sir or Madam,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I appreciate the opportunity that I have&amp;nbsp;to provide further background information in order to support my application to the International Business Program at the University of Maastricht for the 2008 Autumn term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;First of all, I would like to give some information about myself. My name is ......I was born in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, on the 26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of September 1989.&amp;nbsp;My nationality is Azerbaijani. My parents are both teachers ( the subjects they are teaching and maybe the institutions) , therefore they are seriously concerned with my education. Education is my concern too and during all my school years I have&amp;nbsp;worked hard in order to give a good use to my parents&amp;#39; heritage and to put a good base for a successful career. I think the landmark of my education was my entrance in one of the most well known schools in Azerbaijan, &amp;quot;Dede Gorgud&amp;quot; Private Turkish High School, a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;fter I graduated my 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade at the state secondary school. My future&amp;nbsp;career has been a main preoccupation for me since the begining of high school. In the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade, I started to prepare myself to join the National Mathematics Olympic Team. Eventually,&amp;nbsp;in the 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade my goal was achieved. In May 2005, I participated in Almaty (Kazakhstan) to the International Mathematic Project Competition â 2005. My project&amp;nbsp;received the&amp;nbsp;first place and I got a golden medal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Languages are bridges between the nations and knowing as many languages as one can is an important factor in understanding the world in which we live and in developing a successful career. I speak fluently my mother tongue and I know English, Russian, Turkish and German. The fact that I&amp;nbsp;have raised in a bilingual city and in a multicultural environment has presented me great chances to enlarge my cultural knowledge and my language abilities. In high school, item like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science have been thought in English. Russian is the second language in my country, so it wasn&amp;#39;t too difficult to learn. Turkish language is also widespread in our environment and it is close to my mother tongue. But I found German language a challenge, so I attended to a language course organized by the German Embassy in Baku. Here I was able to establish my basic German knowlege and now, in the university, German is my second foreign language.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I also consider that the equilibrium in life is given by combining mind acnity with a healthy and a strong body, so sports play an important role in my life. I am very interested in football &amp;nbsp;(Kamran, is this soccer or football?)&amp;nbsp; and in table tennis. In 2006, there was a football championship among private high schools and I received along with my schoolmates&amp;nbsp;the gold medal. I consider this gold medal an award for what the team spirit can achieve. &amp;nbsp;After I graduated the 9th grade, I faced the challenge to chose the most appropriate University for me. I found that the International Economic Relations Faculty of Azerbaijan State Economics University was suiting my desire to interact with other people and cultures and my&amp;nbsp;administrative skills that I had developed by&amp;nbsp;organizing different social activities in school. Consequently, I applied to this university and I had an entrance examination exam that included Mathematics, Geography, Mother Tongue, English language and the History of Azerbaijan. I received 668.75 out of 700 points and now&amp;nbsp;I benefit from the presidential scholarship because of my high points. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;We learn as long as we live and we must put no boundaries to our knowledge. Having this in mind, I decided to continue &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;my education in a respected European university such as the University of Maastricht.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;My decision has been influenced by several factors: the growing interest in&amp;nbsp;what I have been learning&amp;nbsp;in the university,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;International Economic Relations, my father&amp;#39;s advice and lectures at Azerbaijan State Economic University and the captivating way that the economy develops in&amp;nbsp;this era of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;globaization. I am aware of the fact that education at such a distance away from home is an increased responsibility that can contribute to a more mature way of thinking, behaving and viewing in this complex world. I am sure that your program can provide me the experience of discovering new ways of growing and giving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; I am&amp;nbsp;convinced that the University of Maastricht would be an excellent start for a business career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I thank you for considering my application and I am &amp;nbsp;looking forward to receiving your decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kamran Huseynzade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;[removed by mods, please don&amp;#39;t post personal contacts]</description></item><item><title>plzz...help me! can anybody check ma motivation letter..???</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PlzzAnybodyCheckMotivationLetter/zxpnm/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 09:18:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:490955</guid><dc:creator>dead_emo</dc:creator><description>&lt;span&gt;Letter of Motivation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kamran Huseynzade &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I appreciate this opportunity to provide further background information in support of my application for entrance to the International Business program at the University of Maastricht for the 2008 autumn term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;First of all, I would like to give a little information about myself. I was born in Baku - the capital city of Azerbaijan on the 26&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of September 1989. The nationality of me is Azerbaijani. My parents are interested in&amp;nbsp;study (they are both teachers), therefore they give great importance to my education.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After my 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade at the state secondary school, I passed the entrance exam of one of the most well-known high schools in my country. Since then, I continued my education studying at Baku âDede Gorgudâ Private Turkish High School. My future profession was very significant for me, so I began to think about my career when I was in earlier grades. For a good career, I know that English is important. Attending to such high school presented me an opportunity to improve my English. At the high school technical subjects, like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, plus, computer science were taught in English. While I was studying at high school I determined some points to reach, so at the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade, I started to prepare getting a place in the national mathematics olympiad team. Eventually, at the 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade I was accepted to the team. In May 2005, I was in Almaty (Kazakhstan) to participate in the International Mathematic Project Competition â 2005. It was successful for me, as my project took first place and I got a golden medal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was not successful only at studies, but also sport is my lifeâs great part. Iâm very interested in football and good at playing table tennis. In 2006, there was a football championship among private high schools and we were awarded gold medals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Itâs obvious that the more languages you know, the more successful you are. Besides, fluently speaking in my mother tongue, I know English, Russian, Turkish, and German. Being raised in a bilingual city and in a multicultural environment presented me great chances to enlarge my cultural knowledge and of course, my language ability, too. Russian is considered as a second language in my country, so learning Russian was not hard for me. Almost, most of people know Russian in my country. Turkish is also widespread in our environment and itâs much near to my mother tongue. But German was not easy to learn, as I attended to language course of German Embassy in Baku. During courses I established my basic German knowledge. Now at the university I get German classes as my second foreign language.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, it was time to think about the university I want to study. I was searching something appropriate for me, for my character. During school years, I was communicable and my organizing skill helped me to go forward in most areas. Due to being an organizer of social activities at school, I realized that the best field for my future career is something related to administration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When I graduated from school, I got 668.75 points out of 700 points in the university entrance exam and gained a place in the International Economic Relations faculty of Azerbaijan State Economics University. The exam included Mathematics, Geography, Mother tongue, English, and History of Azerbaijan. Because of getting high point in the exam I get presidential scholarship. This success convinced me getting higher points and serving for my country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But I never wanted to stop on what I achieved, so I was making a plan to endure my education in a respected European university such as University of Maastricht.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was wondering what sector to choose for studying abroad. I have already known that it must be something related to my present faculty (International Economic Relations). Also it must be the sector that I can express myself best and use my all skills. Interest in international economic life and economic news also affected my decision. In addition, my father gives lectures at Azerbaijan State Economic University, so getting some advice from him and listening his lectures, finally, I decided to study International Business at your university, because I found it more suitable for me and for my demands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In conclusion, I would like to state that I like to undertake obligations and work with team spirit. I desire to get new experiences and in my thought, this program is the best way to gain all of it and to discover new ideas. Its international concept enlarges opportunities to interact with different students from various countries on definite subjects, and it is the exact thing Iâve been looking for. I am positive that the University of Maastricht would be an excellent start for a voluntary business career.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I thank you for considering my application and I look forward to your response.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sincerely yours,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kamran Huseynzade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[removed by mods, please don&amp;#39;t post your personal contacts]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please check my personal statement (motivation letter)</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckPersonalStatementMotivation-Letter/zmbld/post.htm#477040</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 22:37:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:477040</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;My strong desire to take a Business-related course in Great Britain began&amp;nbsp;three years ago when I realized&amp;nbsp;I was attracted to this dynamic field of&amp;nbsp;logic and consistent patterns. Having a broad interest in many subject areas, I now seek to become as versatile as&amp;nbsp;I can. Therefore, choosing a Business orientated degree seems to be a logical step for my&amp;nbsp;studies&amp;nbsp;at your University. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My&amp;nbsp;vision for the future began very early, with a&amp;nbsp;background&amp;nbsp;selling newspapers and other things to my &lt;br /&gt;neighbours as&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;child. However, my real familiarization with Business came later, during&amp;nbsp;summer holidays, when I&amp;nbsp;worked with documentation and contracts as an assistant for&amp;nbsp;a construction company. As a result, I have gained invaluable experience working and communicating with clients. Moreover, I understood that every company&amp;#39;s success is based on&amp;nbsp;being a&amp;nbsp;well-run organization with&amp;nbsp;smart management. I have also participated in&amp;nbsp;seminars and have read books related to business so that I could have a wider viewpoint of this competitive&amp;nbsp;field. Regular reading of The Economist has kept&amp;nbsp;me up-to-date with all the changes in economics, politics and business around the world. Knowing several foreign languages, such as English and German, will&amp;nbsp;definitely be useful in my&amp;nbsp;future career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my studies at the gymnasium, I&amp;nbsp;obtained much&amp;nbsp;new knowledge and experience. Participation in the gymnasium&amp;#39;s academic and social life taught me to overcome challenges, to be a team player,&amp;nbsp;and to adapt to any situation. This experience encouraged me to take on new challenges. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my spare time I take part in&amp;nbsp;extracurricular activities, such as playing guitar, taking photographs, reading books, travelling and sports. Apart from basketball, I also&amp;nbsp;played football for 6 years and I was a candidate for Lithuania&amp;#39;s National Football team. I am a determined and responsible person who&amp;nbsp;appreciates hard work, is motivated, and enjoys&amp;nbsp;creative challenges.&amp;nbsp;With regards to Business,&amp;nbsp;I think that these three features are the key to success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business studies at a British University have long been my desire.

In joining your University&amp;#39;s community, I hope that my personality and hard work will bring some particular distinction to&amp;nbsp;your institution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for considering my application and I am looking forward to your positive reply. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please check my personal statement (motivation letter)</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckPersonalStatementMotivation-Letter/zmbzj/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:26:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:476944</guid><dc:creator>jdaniels</dc:creator><description>Hello, I wrote this letter for international studies..I&amp;#39;d be very thankful if somebody could correct grammar and style in this letter.

Communication Sciences.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Dear Sir / madam or admissions board:&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;One
of the many things I learned over the few years Iâve worked in the private and
public sector is that in order to go furtherin my career I need to obtain a
masterâs degree. Iâm writing to apply for the Masterâs degree program in
Marketing at the University of ***.
Iâm a Mexican citizen currently living in Germany taking an intensive German
language course, I have an International Business bachelors degree from the &lt;i&gt;***&lt;/i&gt; in Mexico,&amp;nbsp; also I studied one year at *** in France, during this time I
had the opportunity to study Marketing more in depth, my studies provoked a
strong interest in the field. I saw that the best way for me to develop more
marketing skills was to work as a marketer and afterwards to attend a masterâs
program in marketing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In
the corporate world of today a bachelorâs degree is not enough, especially in
marketing the competition for job opportunities is fierce. I started my professional
career as a marketing assistant in a sports marketing firm. I specialized in
the US Hispanic market, doing promotions, media buys, PR campaigns and organizing
sponsored events, most of them in football. Later I joined the public sector,
working for the Mexican&amp;nbsp; government as a media coordinator, doing everything from press
releases, internal communication, public events to the creation of a newspaper.
Iâve obtained a lot of on-the-job knowledge that I now want to cap with an
international Masterâs Degree. Iâm passionate about marketing, I know that in
order to be successful in it one needs knowledge and credentials and I feel the
masterâs degree that the University of ***
offers is the best way to obtain both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After
working in the US, I come back to Europe with the intention to do my masterâs studies. Iâve
done my research about postgraduate programs in European universities, I was
looking for one that will complement my experience in marketing, will
further my knowledge in the field and that will give me a solid foundation and
skills in order to pursue a marketing career in Europe
after the completion of my studies. The University of ***
offers me that. I particularly like that the teaching language is in English
and that the University of ***
welcomes international students and even offers Italian language courses. What interests
me most of the program is the opportunity to have a second minor and the
structure that will allow me to personalize my study curricula to my interests
and needs. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Iâm
confident that my experience and background would be a great asset to the University of ***
studentâs body and the marketing masterâs class. I thank you very much for
considering my request and I look forward to your positive response. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sincerely yours,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Obviously I can't amend the letter; but I've underlined some parts that may need further attention (mostly from a grammatical point of view).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Since the letter will find its way into the maw of Google shortly, I've also removed the identifying features.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Best wishes&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;MrP&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;HR&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;With this letter, I would like to express my interest in studying at the ZZZ&amp;nbsp;as a&amp;nbsp;ZZZ student. For the last two years I have been studying at the&amp;nbsp;ZZZ Technical University majoring in Electronics &amp;amp; Telecommunications. There were several reasons for my choosing the profession of an engineer. First, working in this field &lt;U&gt;involves challenging your abilities:&lt;/U&gt; it applies &lt;U&gt;a lot of&lt;/U&gt; modern technology and you have to keep up with that all the time. Second, in our globalizing world there will always be a growing need for specialists of this kind. &lt;U&gt;As much as I enjoy&lt;/U&gt; studying I can't help but realize that an opportunity to attend a Swedish university will give me a lot of unique experience both professional and personal. It is always interesting for me to look at things I know from a different point of view. For instance, I'd like to learn how applying modern technology in my field &lt;U&gt;helps protecting&lt;/U&gt; the environment. And I am sure in Sweden, where such matters are traditionally important, &lt;U&gt;I will be able to&lt;/U&gt;. Also I am looking forward to a chance to see new places and meet new people. Who knows, maybe I will make a few lifetime friends and will keep in touch with them after we graduate and start working.

For the last two years I have been studying at the&amp;nbsp;YYY Technical University majoring in Electronics &amp;amp; Telecommunications. There were several reasons for my choosing the profession of an engineer. First, working in this field involves challenging your abilities: it applies a lot of modern technology and you have to keep up with that all the time. Second, in our globalizing world there will always be a growing need for specialists of this kind. As much as I enjoy studying I can't help but realize that an opportunity to attend a Swedish university will give me a lot of unique experience both professional and personal. It is always interesting for me to look at things I know from a different point of view. For instance, I'd like to learn how applying modern technology in my field helps protecting the environment. And I am sure in Sweden, where such matters are traditionally important, I will be able to. Also I am looking forward to a chance to see new places and meet new people. Who knows, maybe I will make a few lifetime friends and will keep in touch with them after we graduate and start working.

I want to continue my undergraduate studies at **** College. I write my motivation letter but i need your help as i am not a native english speaker. Plz help me to make my letter more adequate. Thanks here is my letter:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MOTIVATION LETTER &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p&gt;My name is Klajdi Turlla. I was born and raised in Albania. Living
in the capital city of my country I have been able to observe my country economical
development. Since 1990 after the collapse of the dictatorial regimen Albanian
business was improved very quickly. Now in Albania thousand of business offers
their service to the community. This is a very positive thing for the Albanian
development. Being successful in the business field needs a lot of business
knowledge. Business studies are available even in Albania but our universities do not
accomplish the European standards. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since I was a little boy I had the desire to become a
successful businessman. My parents also are involved in the business world and I
want to continue and improve what they have achieved so far. The only way to
make this dream come true is studying in a European school. There are many
reasons for my desire to study at ****
 College. I think the program
offered is the right for me. For my opinion British programs are the best.
Studying in your college will give me the opportunities to find a job right
after graduation. Also as an international student I think I can find the needed
support. Furthermore I think Prague
is a grate city. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To study at your college English language is very important.
I have learned english since third grade (at age of 10) in public school and
later in several private courses. Of course that the only way to confirm that
my english is at the required level I have to do exams that shows my english proficiency.
Iâll do the TOEFL test and than Iâll announce you my result. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Society is very important to me. I spend the most of the
free time with my best friends. As we live in the biggest city of Albania the
ways to pass the free time are a lot. Usually we play football, basketball or bowling.
In the weekend we go to a party or to quiet places of the city where we can
enjoy the day in peace. When Iâm at home I like to read, surf in the internet, play
guitar or watching TV. A lot of my social activities are planned by the school.
Trips are organized in cultural and beautiful places in Albania.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would be thankful if you consider my statement and would
be very satisfied to be accepted to ***
 College. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank You&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Klajdi Turlla&lt;/p&gt;

Thanks!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GiveAdviceMotivationLetter/dkjdz/post.htm#302350</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Dec 2006 01:42:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:302350</guid><dc:creator>Feebs11</dc:creator><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;table width="85%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="txt4"&gt;&lt;img src="/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Turinsnow wrote:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="quoteTable"&gt;&lt;table width="100%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" valign="top" class="txt4"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear sir or madamï¼&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My undergraduate educational background at Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, my passion for finance and my interest in the Italian culture make me an ideal candidate for &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Master of Science program in Finance at UniversitÃ  Bocconi for the year 2007-2008.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p&gt;My interest in finance is by blood. I was born&lt;b&gt; &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;into&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a family of finance. My father was a banker and my mother was an accountant. Some of my relatives have been working in different Chinese banks for more than twenty years. When I was asked to choose a major in university, I picked finance without hesitation. Having spent the last three years in the top undergraduate class of finance in China and taken an internship at China Minsheng Banking Corporation, Ltd., I can say that I would like to devote my life &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;to&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; this competitive, dynamic and exciting industry. I visited Wall Street ten months ago. Watching the narrow street and busy walking people, suddenly I realized that I belonged &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;there&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. I know that there &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;is&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; a long way&lt;b&gt; &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;to go&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/b&gt;before I &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;get there&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, but anyway, I will try my best to see how far I can go. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will graduate from Peking University next July. Why not work immediately after the undergraduate education? First, at the moment I am only a beginner in the field of finance and still have much to learn. My academic knowledge of finance is not yet sufficient for a real financier. Second, to be honest, I am not ready to begin a full-time job at the age of 22. I enjoy the campus life and do not want to leave it too soon. Third, I want to broaden my vision by visiting other parts of the world at an early stage of life. In all, to stay in the field of finance before enter the industry, I should certainly seek an Master of Science Program in Finance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bocconi is my first choice not only because it can offer me high-quality academic education and a good opportunity to enter the sector of investment banking, but also because it is the perfect combination of Italy, Milan and finance. Italy is the beautiful country that I have been dreaming of visiting since high school; Milan is the city where my favorite football team is located;&amp;nbsp;and finance is the career worth lifetime devotion. I have a strong motivation to spend part of &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;my &lt;/font&gt;life at Bocconi and expect to explore the whole wide world with your help. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to a positive response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Sincerely yours,&lt;/p&gt;
