You are talking about what you would put in the subject line of a formal letter?

You don't need the article in the subject line.

However "Grant Request" seems like a more suitable subject line.

Hi
I don't know, I think you should write a formal letter, that comes better in my opinion...

HP: It's my first article and my English isn't so good / bad, but I hope you understood it

Hello again:]

Here comes a behindhanded update:
I'd obtained all necessary info and prepared some background for my UCAS application form I'm working on presently.

I have to write a Personal Statement in which I'll have the chance to explain my reasons for applying. You know how crucial a good PS is and so you'll probably understand why I've chosen to use your mental and lore resources ;p.

Anyway, my space is very limited (template available on www.ucas.com/getting/apply05/ along with some technical instructions) and I have so much to pass on;].

Although the form is up to me the brochure "How to apply" specifically points out what I would want to write about:

* Why do I want to study in the UK?
* What evidence do I have to show that I can complete a higher education course taught in English?
* Have I had a position of authority or used my communication skills in any activity?

* Why I have chosen the courses I've listed?
* What interests me about chosen subjects? ("Include details of what you have read about the subject")
* What career plans I have after I complete my course.
* Any job, work experience, placement or voluntary work I have done, particularly if it is relevant to my subject. ("You may want to give skills and experience you have gained from these activities")
* Any involvement in widening participation schemes such as summer schools or mentoring activities.
* Involvement in master classes or other Gifted and Talented programmes.
* My future plans.
* Any subjects I'm studying that do not have a formal assessment.
* Any sponsorship or placements I have applied for.
* My social, sports or leisure interests.

==============
I have pointed out some of my prior attainments:
1. After one semester in my elementary school I have been promoted to higher class and considered a gifted kid;].
2. I had the best overall average of lower high school grades (5, 4 /6) of my school.
3. In high school I was approached by a newly-created periodical "LOL". I still write articles for them on a regular basis and they consider offering me a post of their younger correspondent from London.
4. I am a creative script-editor for a movie "300 minutes" that currently is being developed by young independent artists connected to milieu of "Lodzka Szkola Filmowa" (the best and most renowned polish drama school)
5. I have been attending summer courses at British Council's school English for You in Hastings where I have obtained second best score;].
6. I was a successful head of the Students Government (in the most difficult term of office in my entire high school history)
7. Now I'm a chairman of the European Club...
8. ...from which I have been awarded a place on an international exchange program with young students from Carcasonne (France) but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to go because I've lost my passport (and it was before Polandâs accession to EU).
9. Alongside my professors and friends I have been a part of a team that obtained a "Szkola z Klasa" title for my school in a social effort to raise the standard of education in Poland. The campaign was held under patronage of "Gazeta Wyborcza" (the most respective polish daily); The Polish-American Freedom Foundation and under honorary patronage of the Polish President.
==============

The thing is - I don't know how to start, with what I should begin? Furthermore: the list I have compiled makes up roughly for the 2/3 of my avaliable space in the template.

I know that it isn't a designed topic for essay writing, however; you know my case quite well. I'm looking forwart to any words of advice;].

Bye,

Hi, It is a new one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir or Madam:

I am applying for the Engineering program (Diplome d'Ingenieur)at a member institution of N+I.

I graduated in Automation with a bachelor degree in 2003 from the university of Science and Technology. My study focuses on Control Theory, Distributed and Process Control. Besides, I also had experience in SCM Programming and Communication in Graduation Project. After study, I worked in LG Electronics at their Monitor factory to coordinate with the foreign customers and oversea sub-factories for new products development planning and production process quality control. Through my study and work, I became passionate to learn more in analyzing and design automatic control process.

Automation is fascinating and useful to research because it creates modern manufacture systems with less labor but higher efficiency. It can achieve a speed and veracity human cannot exceed that is very helpful for mass production. Moreover, automatic controlled industrial robots are used to work in dangerous environment instead of human. With the development of global industry, automation is becoming more and more important.

France is a rapidly continual growing industrial country. Its high technology in aeronautics and engineering keep benefiting the whole world, which are highly valuable to study. Meanwhile French unique and systematic advanced engineer education will not only make students acquire a good knowledge of engineering, but also command well through variously practices. The beautiful French and the multi-national environment in France are also attracting me strongly from a very young age.

I believe the study in France through N+I Program is valuable and suitable for me. Because the special service and transition semester arranged by N+I will help me to melt in study and local life smoothly. After graduation, I have confidence that I will fulfill myself as a professional engineer as I envision.

Thank you very much for your consideration on my application. If have any comment, please contact me freely. Iâm looking forward to your positive response

Sincerely yours,
Cheng Ying

----------------------------------

1) I feel not good on the paragraph descriping the importance of automation. it feels a little out of the goal of the article but no matter I delete which sentance, it will feel poorer.

2) Is the last paragraph too simple?

3) What is the format of a formal letter? where can i find it in this forum?

Thanks! if any comment, just let me know pls. I will rewrite until u feel satisfied:)
