&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The purpose of this letter is not only to &lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;describe my educational and
professional background, but also to focus your attention on how motivated I am
to start PhD programme in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;[]&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;offered by your laboratory at [].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I graduated with an&lt;span&gt; Master&amp;#39;s Research&lt;/span&gt; Degree&lt;span&gt; in&lt;/span&gt;
Computer Science, Telecommunication and Engineering&lt;span&gt; from the National Higher School of Computer Science and Systems Analysis
at Mohammed V&lt;/span&gt; University (the first engineering school in Morocco), in
2004 I obtained a &lt;span&gt;Bachelor&amp;#39;s&lt;/span&gt; in
Computer Science &lt;span&gt;at the faculty of
science of Mohammed V&lt;/span&gt; University in Rabat and in 2002 I finished a university
degree in Mathematics and physics in Mohammed I university in Oujda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Actually I am working as a Networking engineer in Morocco

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The master of research Iâve studied was a preparation
for multidisciplinary research, based on physics, electronics, mathematical,
and computational background. We were introduced to gain insight into research
works in several topics of engineering; information theory, telecommunication
and other fields. And I was always capable of providing an intense effort of
adaptation and learning to successfully manipulate new notions and techniques. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am Aware of the challenge represented by choosing []
in terms of need for adaptation to new tools and manners of research; however I
believe in my ability and will to point my scientific background and experience
in such a multidisciplinary and promising research area, a choice that fits
best my objectives and ambitions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As [] University has important research activities in
this area, I would like to be given the opportunity to be one of its
prestigious research groups. I am sure that my passion to computer science

make me a valuable member of your research team, Hence I would appreciate if

I've gone through this forum and copied some ideas and even senteces into that. I'm not sure if I can ask you also for grammar correction, but if somebody correct (maybe "fills in" is more appropriate, plenty of them are missing &amp;lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&amp;gt; the articles and tenses, I'll really appreciate that. I'm going to enclose this text and my CV to a short email with application. Thank you a lot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here it is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir / Madam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this letter I wish to explain my interest for taking part in PhD project "***" which is proposed by the *** team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe my motivation for applying for the position can be better understood considering my study path so far. I started my bachelor studies of Computer Science at *** Faculty of *** University in *** with clear intention to continue with master studies at the same place. After completing my bachelor degree I've chosen a specialization on Software Systems. From the beginning of my master studies I've been focusing on the field of formal methods in software development and especially on model-checking. During that stage I won the scholarship for excellent study results and finally I got my master degree this January with overall grade 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While working on my master thesis focused on model-checking of concurrent systems, I decided to get deeper knowledge in the field of formal verification and software reliability. I started to look for research groups and laboratories concentrating on these topics. I realized that *** group is dealing exactly with the problems I'm interested in and I immediately decided to apply for a PhD position in your team right after finishing my master studies. To get broader survey in the area of formal verification I started to attend a seminar, where many scientists focused on this topic present their current results. I also attend an intensive everyday course of French since September to reach at least basic level of the language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My choice of my former university and faculty was based on general belief that this institution is the most challenging and provides the education of the highest quality in my country. This fact helped me to make my best while studying there. But now I appreciate an opportunity to focus on an exciting research topic even more than high demands imposed on students. I consider the *** group to be both the great challenge and the place of projects exactly corresponding to my research interests. I think of that as of opportunity to get broader view of formal methods and security and to take part in the top-class research project with exciting goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm convinced that I can contribute to the above-mentioned project because of the experience gained from my master thesis and during my master studies. In my work I dealt with model-checking, implementation of  temporal logic, formal specification, modeling language design, semantics and translation. I believe that I can apply my knowledge of program verification in your project and that it is an excellent opportunity to get an expertise in the field of my utmost interest. I consider program verification and reliability being crucial for further development of software industry and I definitely want to take part in research of this area. From my part I have no doubts about my motivation and commitment and I believe that I am a suitable candidate for this PhD position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours respectfully,&lt;br /&gt;my name</description></item><item><title>Re: Should I mention example production in my motivation letter?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MentionExampleProductionMotivation-Letter/zjhpk/post.htm#464110</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:40:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:464110</guid><dc:creator>BMX</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;GG, thank you for your reply.&lt;/P&gt;

Because&amp;nbsp;in Hebrew and Russian it's the most suitable word..&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ee82ee&gt; 'Even' sounds better.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;* In&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"&gt; the sentense "&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;I was always interested in business and economics,&amp;nbsp;therefore during my service I deeply enriched...&lt;/FONT&gt;" you replaced&amp;nbsp;"therefore" with "so", why&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;can't use therefore here? &lt;FONT color=#ee82ee&gt;'Therefore' is not a conjunction. If you want to use it, start a new sentence or say&lt;STRONG&gt; 'and&lt;/STRONG&gt; therefore'.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*&amp;nbsp;I fixed the last paragraph, so please review it:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally, I think Erasmus University Rotterdam is an excellent place to start my career. Being very motivated and ambitious, I think my strong points are good communicative and administrative skills. I would like to work and study in a team of enthusiastic and determent students, and eventually to achieve the goals that I defined to myself.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I am not so good in English but I have to write a motivation letter. I am not sure wheter my grammer is correct or not. Could anybody please&amp;nbsp;correct some sentenses?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"My curiosity for medical progresses aroused because of my parents who work as nurses."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"One of my priorities is to study in a university which connects economical aspects with science; therefore I think that your univesity is one of the best faculties to study.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The practice geared experience and the lectures in English which will facilitate to entering the job market is too a reason for my decision to make an application at your university."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;thank!!&lt;/P&gt;

Connections Pvt. Ltd.&amp;nbsp; I have been recognized and lauded for my
knowledge of biochemistry, and I enjoy intellectual interactions with
my Ph.D. colleagues; I am trained to think logically and solve
problems.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;My peers consistently&lt;/b&gt; place me in a leadership position, and
I have a reputation for performing well beyond what is expected. Still,
I feel an empty place in my life. While my friends and colleagues do
not understand my decision to leave this rewarding career, I know that
I have no choice if I am to pursue my long-term goal and my childhood
dream: to teach and to publish research.&amp;nbsp; I think that I have made the
right decision, although my friends think I am sacrificing certain
career advancement for superfluous training. What they do not
understand is that I will derive even greater satisfaction from
pursuing a doctoral degree than by earning a higher salary and
advancing in my present career. By pursuing a graduate degree, I will
have the priceless opportunity to realize my dream.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Initially, I
saw my current job as &lt;b&gt;a valuable&lt;/b&gt; opportunity to further my learning
experience, and indeed, over the past two years, I have acquired a
broad knowledge of drug discovery, chemoinformatics and
bioinformatics.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;But my&lt;/b&gt; current job has
contributed less toward my long-term career objective of teaching, and
conducting and publishing research that would contribute to my field of
specialization. I am driven more by my dreams than &lt;b&gt;the salary and
prestige&lt;/b&gt; of a commercial career:&amp;nbsp; I also hope to contribute to society
by disseminating my knowledge as an academician.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A research
career in neurobiology is my life goal. In my opinion, there is no
scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain.
Neuroscientists have learnt a considerable amount about the functioning
of the brain, but they admit that it remains one of&amp;nbsp; humanityâs most
enduring mysteries. I have clearly envisaged my path in neurobiological
research and am convinced that the stakes in this new and fast growing
field are critical. I would like to make my contribution to unravelling
the &lt;b&gt;intricacies&lt;/b&gt; of neurobiology.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Excited since I was a child&lt;/b&gt; by the idea of becoming a
scientist, my interest in pursuing graduate studies
intensified during my undergraduate education and my initial research.
Having a thirst for biology, I pursued my degree in Biochemistry at
prestigious Vysya College, although I had opted for computer science in
secondary school. With a chemistry background, I excelled in my
undergraduate studies. My core subject became very interesting under
the tutelage of an experienced faculty. I was even allowed to take
biochemistry for twelfth grade students in my eleventh year&lt;b&gt;, and that
&lt;/b&gt;opportunity secured me a 1st grade in Human Physiology and Cell Biology.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As
a day scholar, I worked&lt;b&gt; without salary &lt;/b&gt;as a part-time trainee in their renowned
clinical laboratory. There I learnt molecular techniques
and research approaches in molecular biology.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;I also took&lt;/b&gt; a
laboratory course exclusively for electrophoresis techniques at the
Electrophoresis Institute&lt;b&gt;, and my&lt;/b&gt; quest for advancement in biological
sciences encouraged me to undertake clinical laboratory work at Gopi
Hospitals. "One personâs life influences the lives of an unbelievable
number of people," goes the saying, one of the most important lessons I
have learnt.&amp;nbsp; This experience taught me to be a responsible person and
boosted my confidence. It also taught me that the &lt;b&gt;bases&lt;/b&gt; for good work &lt;b&gt;are&lt;/b&gt; self-reliance &lt;b&gt;and personal time&lt;/b&gt; management.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;These&lt;/b&gt; three years were &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; free of shortcomings.&amp;nbsp; I learnt to accept both
criticism and praise with a positive frame of mind. My work involved
organizing various events, which gave me the opportunity to work and
interact with various kinds of people. This was a very gratifying
experience for me, which I feel will stand me in good stead in the
future.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I pursued my postgraduate degree in Biochemistry in
order to gain basic eligibility for research. The core subject inspired
me to carry the basics of biochemistry to undergraduate students, and I
involved myself in self-help initiatives such as paper and poster
presentations at various state-level seminars. In partial fulfillment
of my postgraduate degree, I worked at the Central Leather Research
Institute (CLRI-ADYAR) in the Department of Bioproducts. There, I
worked on protein purification and its characterizations, which
provided me a clear perspective of research and aided me in acquiring
other molecular techniques.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a prerequisite for attaining a
PhD in Neurobiology, I &lt;b&gt;underwent&lt;/b&gt; intense training &lt;b&gt;in a course in
Laboratory Animal Management&lt;/b&gt; at the National
Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences. This course gave me practical exposure to
isolating the brain and its major components. Drug administration and
sample collection techniques with laboratory animals &lt;b&gt;were also&lt;/b&gt; fundamental
parts of this course.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My journey so far, from undergraduate &lt;b&gt;student&lt;/b&gt; to
current occupation, has been carefully planned.&amp;nbsp; I believe that my &lt;b&gt;determination&lt;/b&gt; to study further, my &lt;b&gt;considerable laboratory experience,
and my strong &lt;/b&gt;academic background in various areas of &lt;b&gt;biochemistry will&lt;/b&gt; be very
beneficial for my research work in your laboratory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Good luck with your application.&amp;nbsp; Be careful of your typing if you re-type this-- typographical errors are a signal of carelessness to the reader.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MM&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
