Unfortunately I managed to lose what I had written and as I have little time left now, all I can suggest is that you find someone with experience of writing such letters or simply someone who can write in a more fluent and grammatically correct manner. More concrete suggestions include: giving examples of the social and community related activities you have participated in; removing the reference to the motivation your parents give you (you need to show you are self motivated); remove extraneous comments (do they need to be told that Spanish &amp;quot;is the second common language in the world&amp;quot;?... and in any case do you think that it is wise to imply that you can spare...</description></item><item><title>Re: Motivation letter for an undergraduate degree/UK</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetterUndergraduateDegree-Uk/gqcmj/post.htm#580545</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2008 00:20:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:580545</guid><dc:creator>alpheccastars</dc:creator><description>Hi Iva:  I wish you success in your studies!

I apologise if you felt insulted; that was not my intent. 
 The 3 para format is also useful in other circumstances, of course, but not for everything. I certainly don't consider it a prerequisite for writing a formal letter. Motivation letters are often required to be of a length that would make the three paragraphs far too long and unwieldy. 
 We agree that it's a pretty good letter overall though, so I'm sure anon will be fine.</description></item><item><title>Re: Please advise on my personal statement</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseAdvisePersonalStatement/vckzr/post.htm#347080</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Apr 2007 07:34:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:347080</guid><dc:creator>nona the brit</dc:creator><description>Well, I'm no expert on motivation letters but I think this is a good one.

 I'd like to apply for a graduate program of a large global company. The problem is, that there's only an online-application form. So, I'm not sending a printed motivation OR cover-letter. After some personal questions there are 2 questions they ask with max. 4000 characters to fill in. The questions are:  
 
 
  What qualities do you have that make you suitable for this position?  
 
  What are your career goals and aspirations?    
 I was writing motivation- and cover-letters before but I'm not sure this time if I'm right.  
 1) I don't know if these questions are mixing parts of a motivation and cover-letter. I guess so but I`m not sure.

 In my experience, a cover letters goes with a resume to apply for a job. It says why your knowledge, skills, aptitudes, and experience make you a good fit for the company and the job. 
 I've never had to write a motivation letter, but it seems to be part of applying for an academic program. Because such programs don't expect you to have already done the same program (the way a job might expect you to have similar experience to the job you are applying to), instead you need to show how your background and experience have motivated you to study hard and succeed in this program.</description></item><item><title>Motivation Letter for University, urgent</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetterUniversity-Urgent/vbcjm/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:00:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:339740</guid><dc:creator>anonymous</dc:creator><description>Please check this motivation letter and tell me what you think, i am not so good writing motivation letters, so it might be written very unprofessional.

 I would try to write your CV in a way that isn't just lots of lists. Of course, some things you have to list out, but other sections, such as your personal attributes (virtues) can be written out fully and will create a better impression that way. Section headings: 'Backround' should be Work Experience and you should list the most recent job at the top and work back from there. Didn't the 'courses' lead to qualifications - yet you list qualifications separately.
