name is known from the CV as well as the from the address There is no need to introduce itself in a formal letter My name is is for writing to potential friends strongly informal I would suggest to take it back it could lead to a tradegy _ 2 At the moment I m going The tense is not correct because the action started in the past and is still going At the moment you are sitting in front of your computer Proposal Recently I have been attending a private school in M in the grade 3 My principal courses are geography and german My major subjects are geography and German German with a capital letter 4 I was born See 1 The letter should provide your motivation I doubt if your birthday is connected to your motivation If so explain why Cut the whole sentense OK there is no point to go on This isn t a motivation letter more a mix between CV and cover letter If possible please forget it and write it complettely new after research about the structure of a formal cover letter I would try to correct the obvious mistake as far as I can It would be better </description></item><item><title>Re: How to write a letter of motivation or cover

the application procedure it is the basis on which the organising groups select their participants There s no are perfect templates or instructions on how to write your motivation letter for a BEST courses every student is unique and this should be reflected in this letter However there are some general tips and hints that might be useful and might help you in getting accepted more easily First of all when writing a motivation letter do keep in mind that it is going to be read by students just like you They get many applications from which they have to choose and the only tool they have to choose is the student s motivation letters It might be that the organisers have to read a few hundred motivation letters so to attract their attention try to be creative and funny So do not write a formal letter do not start it with Dear Madam or Sir and importantly do not make it look like a CV do not state all the schools you visited all the jobs you did during your life etc write an interesting letter in prose style In general your motivation letter should focus on the following parts Something about yourself what you study what you do in your life what are your hobbies sports you do maybe what languages you speak BEST courses are always a lot of fun so the organisers should know that you are a funny person Why you want to go to abroad and why do you want to go to a BEST summer winter spring course It is important for the organisers to have internationally minded open persons the course does not consist only of the academic program Why you want to go to especially THIS event you re applying for why is the topic attractive why might the knowledge you can gain there help you in your studies in your future carreer the event does neither consist of only the social part so let the organisers know that you are interested in the course as well Sometimes it is needed to tell the organisers that you have a sufficient knowledge of the topic so let them know that and how you do To find out what is expected read the course information on the webpages carefully as probably there are some hints telling you which kind of participant are expected to apply Be careful and send the appropriate letter to the appropriate place don t mix them if you apply to more than one course Don t let the letter be too short or too long One or half of an A4 page is just enough to get the organisers to notice you If the letter is too long they might not want to read it but if it s too short they will think that you are not interested enough in the course Of course the letter has to be written in English These are just some general hints take the ones you want leave the ones you don t like but in any case add your own imagination and style be creative and you ll have your motivation letter to go on a BEST course </description></item></channel></rss>
