Sir or Madam,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;On
recommendation of Prof. Dr. ***, University of ***, I am writing &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;to you in order &lt;/font&gt;to apply for &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;the PhDt&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;the PhD-program you are offering&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Student position at ***.  I have enclosed a
completed resume for your review.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;My
name is Quan Nguyen, a fresh graduate from University of *** &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;[Please don't introduce yourselve in a formal letter, it is very unprofessional. Besides, your resume is enclosed.] &lt;/font&gt;In March 2007, I &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;hold&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;got &lt;/font&gt;the Master degree in
Communication and Media Engineering. During my last academic year, I
had a chance to do &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;an&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;my &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;internship and master thesis in &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;the &lt;/font&gt;*** company. There I &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;gained profound&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;developed not only my&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/strike&gt;knowledge&lt;strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;s&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/strike&gt;in web
development &lt;strike&gt;but also real &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;as well as&lt;/font&gt; working experiences in an international
environment. My thesis is related to the issues in Business
Intelligent and Web 2.0. I obtained skills in J2EE programming and
advanced web technologies for Enterprise Applications including
Jboss, Portal/Portlet, Ajax, Web services,etc..&lt;strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt; It was a great
experience for me, which &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;has
focused my interests on the topic of Web&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000" face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;2.0 technologies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;After
my graduation, I worked as a PHP developer for ***, an IT and
business consulting company. I gained further experiences in web
programming, project management and team-working.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;As
well as my good understanding of academic principles, I am a very
motivated, hardworking and effective individual. Throughout my
career, I obtained a good communication and organizational skills. It
makes me confident that I will be suitable for your research team.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;For
my future career, I see this PhD program as the way to broaden my
knowledge&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;s&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt; in designing and implementing Enterprise Distributed
Applications, as well as how to &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;apply&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;these applications&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;use them &lt;/font&gt;in business,
&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;which &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;in the case that &lt;/font&gt;SAP is now the best solution. &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;This  &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Your &lt;/font&gt;program &lt;strike&gt;proposes&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;covers &lt;/font&gt;areas of
research that match my interests, such as Business Process Management
and Semantic Web Technologies.  &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I have no doubt in mind that I have
enough knowledges, skills and competence to pursue the PhD program in
your research center.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I
would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how I
may be suitable for this position. &lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;I
am now on vacation in Vietnam, but can be reached at any time via
email or telephone at number +***&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 13pt;" size="3"&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;[Your contact data should be in the resume and every person in the business wourld know how to reach an other person. If your contact data are not on the resume, you should put it there and don't write about it.

Although I 'presume' I write understandable English, I still would like to get rid of stupid mistakes. Researching about music piracy for my journalism studies, I'd like to write organisations related to copyright matters to ask them about their point of view in a formal way. I looked up some things and formulations and I came up with this letter. Can you tell me if there are still large mistakes in it? Thanks in advance,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Joris&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;---&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Dear Sir / Madam&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;My name is 
Joris Heymans. I'm a journalism student at the&amp;nbsp; Plantijnhogeschool in Antwerp (Belgium). 
Currently I am researching about illegal filesharing and music piracy. I hope 
you can help me in obtaining a better view on the vision of organisations 
related to copyright affairs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;I would like 
to get to know more about your organisation's view on the way the recording 
industry should deal with the current situation. Should the industry&amp;nbsp;invest in preventing illegal filesharing and 
downloading, trying to wipe out music piracy, or should companies concentrate on 
searching for other activities (such as offering legal downloads, ringtones 
etc.) that may make up the loss of incomes throuh 
piracy?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Can you 
provide me with an answer on this question or tell me where I can find more 
information about the organisation's point of view on this 
matter?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;I would like 
to thank you in advance for your time and I look forward to hearing from 
you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Yours 
faithfully,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
