I would like if someone please correct it for me. I am not a native english speaker and it is important that I do not apply with any language error on it. As much as possible, please consider British. I also appreciate tips to improve it. Thank you so much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It goes as followed:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sirs,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My name is &amp;quot;me&amp;quot;, I am &amp;quot;nationality&amp;quot; and fascinated by the Scandinavian
countries. Therefore, I would like very much to move to Norway.  
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a Degree in
&amp;#39;Sciences of Communication â Marketing, Public Relations,
Advertisements and Journalism&amp;#39; and I worked for several years
managing different tasks at different levels in the organization. I
also have a good understanding of tasks related to HR as I was
supporting it. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the past years I have
not limited myself to the fulfilment of the job demands on me. I have
been keeping abreast of my educational background, by improving my
languages skills and by taking a post-graduated programme on
Management of Systems of Quality (ISO 9000:2001).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I consider myself to be
hard-working and motivated and I believe I have good organisational
and technical skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once I appreciate
challenges and I consider myself able and, as much as capable,
extremely motivated I am writing to apply for the position of 
Management Assistant. I am applying for it because I identify myself
with the profile and I perfectly fulfil the requested attributes as
you can see on the CV I am sending to you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would be grateful if you
would consider my application. Please contact me for any further
information that you require.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much for
your time and consideration. I look forward to  your reply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best of regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I am writing this personal
statement because of the need of external funding in order to improve
my intellectual capacity by mastering on European Studies and create
higher utility for Turkish Cypriot society by making new linkages,
learning new languages and being aware of other cultures, which is
currently very important to Turkish Cypriots on the stage of
significant turning point&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I am Mertkan Hamit. &lt;/strike&gt;I will
&lt;u&gt;be graduated&lt;/u&gt; from Marmara University, Istanbul, Department of Economics
at the end &lt;u&gt;of 2007&lt;/u&gt; â 2008 study year. After my &lt;u&gt;graduation my&lt;/u&gt; target is&lt;u&gt;
making&lt;/u&gt; my &lt;u&gt;master &lt;/u&gt;degree &lt;u&gt;on&lt;/u&gt; the area of European Studies. The main
reason,&lt;strike&gt; making my master degree on European Studies,&lt;/strike&gt; among the many
problems and conflicts &lt;u&gt;in&lt;/u&gt; Cyprus&lt;strike&gt; island&lt;/strike&gt;, it emphatically &lt;u&gt;remain&lt;/u&gt; as a
European Union &lt;u&gt;Member-State&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strike&gt;country&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;either Cyprus&lt;/u&gt; problem &lt;u&gt;solved&lt;/u&gt; or not
. &lt;strike&gt;There is a fact that,&lt;/strike&gt; Cyprus&lt;strike&gt; island&lt;/strike&gt;&amp;#39;s two zones&amp;#39; are &lt;u&gt;inequal&lt;/u&gt; in terms
of economics &lt;u&gt;or&lt;/u&gt; welfare. &lt;strike&gt;As a young person who is being aware of this
fact&lt;/strike&gt;, the main need of &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; Turkish Cypriot society is professions who
&lt;u&gt;knows&lt;/u&gt; Europe very well, and have &lt;u&gt;academical&lt;/u&gt; point of view &lt;u&gt;for&lt;/u&gt; European
&lt;strike&gt;states&amp;#39;&lt;/strike&gt; economics, politics and culture. From my point of view, all
those that I have&lt;u&gt; implemented&lt;/u&gt;, can not be learned just from &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt;
academic &lt;u&gt;works, &lt;/u&gt;nevertheless living and sharing the same atmosphere is
&lt;u&gt;substantial&lt;/u&gt; .&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Having studied for&lt;/strike&gt; four
years, in Istanbul have brought &lt;u&gt;me great&lt;/u&gt; range of benefits. Living in a
&lt;u&gt;metropolitan&lt;/u&gt; like I&lt;u&gt;stanbul, helped &lt;/u&gt;to &lt;b&gt;broaden&lt;/b&gt; my vision&lt;strike&gt; in wider
perspective&lt;/strike&gt;. &lt;font&gt;During my bachelor &lt;u&gt;studies I &lt;/u&gt;became a member &lt;u&gt;of
Cyprus&lt;/u&gt; Youth Platform, which is a student association for Turkish
Cypriot students who are studying abroad in countries such as Turkey,
England, Germany, USA, Canada, France, Ukraine and the Netherlands.
Currently I am the Secretary General of the organization and have
participated in many conferences and workshops about Europe and the
Euro-Mediterranean region in various countries. Personally I &lt;u&gt;am&lt;/u&gt; or
under the name &lt;u&gt;of Cyprus&lt;/u&gt; Youth Platform &lt;u&gt;many projects constituted&lt;/u&gt; that
&lt;u&gt;funded&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;by United&lt;/u&gt; Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the European
Union. The primary goal of these projects is the re-unification of
&lt;u&gt;Cyprus which&lt;/u&gt; we hope to achieve by focusing on &lt;strike&gt;re-&lt;/strike&gt;rapprochement between
the Turkish-Cypriot and Greek-Cypriot communities. We &lt;u&gt;aim&lt;/u&gt; to bring
Turkish Cypriots closer to Europe and help all Cypriots to build a
culture of peace on the island. Also with our projects we &lt;u&gt;aimed&lt;/u&gt; to
improve youth&amp;#39;s direct relations with &lt;u&gt;Europe, by&lt;/u&gt; visiting European
Union states, increasing awareness and &lt;u&gt;improve&lt;/u&gt; the socialization of
youth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;As well as these &lt;b&gt;macro-level&lt;/b&gt; goals, &lt;u&gt;Cyprus&lt;/u&gt; Youth Platform also &lt;u&gt;aims&lt;/u&gt; to develop solutions to
problems facing young Cypriots. We print a monthly magazine&lt;u&gt;, that&lt;/u&gt; I am
&lt;u&gt;in editorial&lt;/u&gt; board, called &amp;quot;Cypriot Youth&amp;quot;, which educates and raises
awareness &lt;u&gt;around&lt;/u&gt; issues such as drug addiction&lt;u&gt; and&lt;/u&gt; sexual
discrimination and so on. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;We have also formed a
working group to improve &lt;u&gt;studentâs &lt;/u&gt;rights and employment prospects in
North Cyprus. The working group involves many participants including
the office of the President, the Ministry of Education, state planning
boards and universities in North Cyprus. It &lt;u&gt;aims&lt;/u&gt; to develop &lt;strike&gt;long-run&lt;/strike&gt;
sustainable education policies through targeted &lt;b&gt;hands-on&lt;/b&gt; solutions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;The main reason
why I am applying for such a scholarship &lt;u&gt;is I&lt;/u&gt; am planning to &lt;u&gt;make
master&lt;/u&gt; in &lt;u&gt;Netherlands which&lt;/u&gt; is one of the&lt;u&gt; former-state&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;of European&lt;/u&gt;
Union, on the topic of European Studies. &lt;u&gt;In&lt;/u&gt; this &lt;b&gt;one-year&lt;/b&gt; study period,
the university &lt;strike&gt;that I have applied to make my masters&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;is&lt;/b&gt; located &lt;u&gt;in city&lt;/u&gt;
of &lt;u&gt;Maastricht that&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;denominated&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;European&lt;/u&gt; Union&amp;#39;s economic criteria.
&lt;strike&gt;Being&lt;/strike&gt; aware of &lt;strike&gt;this fact, out of&lt;/strike&gt; Maastricht University&amp;#39;s high academic
reputation, I believe that it&lt;u&gt; help&lt;/u&gt; me to analyse Europe better.
Spreading the ideas that I will learn or the &lt;u&gt;linkages&lt;/u&gt; that I will make
while studying abroad would benefit Cyprus and all Cypriots in many
ways. &lt;strike&gt;On the other hand&lt;/strike&gt; I know that there are &lt;strike&gt;considerably high number
of&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;many&lt;/b&gt; youths from Turkish Cypriot society and Greek Cypriot society
studying in &lt;b&gt;The&lt;/b&gt; Netherlands, which will give me another advantage. I
believe in a country &lt;u&gt;like Netherlands, all attempts on&lt;/u&gt; improving
&lt;u&gt;bi-communal&lt;/u&gt; relations and relations with other &lt;u&gt;countries, will&lt;/u&gt; form new
ideas that increase &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; tolerance in understanding &lt;u&gt;that&lt;/u&gt; will give
Cypriots and &lt;u&gt;whole&lt;/u&gt; Europeans &lt;u&gt;extra value added&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strike&gt;It is a fact that,&lt;/strike&gt; on the
&lt;u&gt;Northern Side&lt;/u&gt; of the island, there is a &lt;u&gt;high&lt;/u&gt; need for professionals
which have &lt;u&gt;master on&lt;/u&gt; European studies and related areas. &lt;strike&gt;The
scholarship that I get in order to make&lt;/strike&gt; my&lt;u&gt; master on&lt;/u&gt; European&lt;u&gt; Studies,
will &lt;/u&gt;fill&lt;strike&gt; the&lt;/strike&gt; one of the urgent &lt;u&gt;need&lt;/u&gt; of Turkish Cypriot society. &lt;strike&gt;That
means, &lt;/strike&gt;having this education &lt;u&gt;give&lt;/u&gt; me &lt;u&gt;high chance in&lt;/u&gt; employment when I
&lt;u&gt;return back&lt;/u&gt; to Cyprus after my &lt;u&gt;studies over&lt;/u&gt;. Moreover it is my goal
&lt;u&gt;that being&lt;/u&gt; the person who serves &lt;strike&gt;for&lt;/strike&gt; Cypriots in order to minimize &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt;
problems&lt;u&gt; occur&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strike&gt;on&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;integration&lt;/u&gt; process &lt;u&gt;to&lt;/u&gt; European union in political,
cultural or economical &lt;u&gt;points&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;u&gt;Out of&lt;/u&gt; benefiting only Cyprus,
incorporating growing European &lt;u&gt;Unions&amp;#39;&lt;/u&gt; problems and producing solutions&lt;u&gt;
from&lt;/u&gt; Cyprus, will &lt;u&gt;both give&lt;/u&gt; practical and intellectual benefits to
&lt;u&gt;whole&lt;/u&gt; Europe. This will lead all Europe to gain &lt;u&gt;surplus value&lt;/u&gt; from the
scholarship&lt;strike&gt; that I will get in order to make my master on European
Studies&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;Finally, the
scholarship &lt;strike&gt;that is&lt;/strike&gt; for Turkish Cypriots who are somehow victims
because of political &lt;u&gt;reason on&lt;/u&gt; European Union &lt;u&gt;state Cyprus&lt;/u&gt;, make
Turkish Cypriots &lt;u&gt;to widen&lt;/u&gt; their visions and perspectives by visiting
new countries, &lt;u&gt;facing with&lt;/u&gt; new cultures and having new relations with
new people. To sum up, I think this scholarship is an excellent
opportunity for my career and&lt;strike&gt; the scholarship&lt;/strike&gt; seems like the perfect
opportunity for me &lt;u&gt;to facing with&lt;/u&gt; other cultures, meeting with new
people,&lt;u&gt; learn&lt;/u&gt; other languages and &lt;u&gt;experience&lt;/u&gt; the European education
system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;I am writing this personal statement because of the need of external funding in order to improve my intellectual capacity by mastering on European Studies and create higher utility for Turkish Cypriot society by making new linkages, learning new languages and being aware of other cultures, which is currently very important to Turkish Cypriots on the stage of significant turning point.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;I am Mertkan Hamit. I will be graduated from Marmara University, Istanbul, Department of Economics at the end of 2007 â 2008 study year. After my graduation my target is making my master degree on the area of European Studies. The main reason, making my master degree on European Studies, among the many problems and conflicts in Cyprus island, it emphatically remain as a European Union Member-State country either Cyprus problem solved or not . There is a fact that, Cyprus island&amp;#39;s two zones&amp;#39; are inequal in terms of economics or welfare. As a young person who is being aware of this fact, the main need of the Turkish Cypriot society is professions who knows Europe very well, and have academical point of view for European states&amp;#39; economics, politics and culture. From my point of view, all those that I have implemented, can not be learned just from the academic works, nevertheless living and sharing the same atmosphere is substantial .&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Having studied for four years, in Istanbul have brought me great range of benefits. Living in a metropolitan like Istanbul, helped to improve my vision in wider perspective. &lt;font&gt;During my bachelor studies I became a member of Cyprus Youth Platform, which is a student association for Turkish Cypriot students who are studying abroad in countries such as Turkey, England, Germany, USA, Canada, France, Ukraine and the Netherlands. Currently I am the Secretary General of the organization and have participated in many conferences and workshops about Europe and the Euro-Mediterranean region in various countries. Personally I am or under the name of Cyprus Youth Platform many projects constituted that funded by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the European Union. The primary goal of these projects is the re-unification of Cyprus which we hope to achieve by focusing on re-rapprochement between the Turkish-Cypriot and Greek-Cypriot communities. We aim to bring Turkish Cypriots closer to Europe and help all Cypriots to build a culture of peace on the island. Also with our projects we aimed to improve youth&amp;#39;s direct relations with Europe, by visiting European Union states, increasing awareness and improve the socialization of youth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;As well as these macro level goals, Cyprus Youth Platform also aims to develop solutions to problems facing young Cypriots. We print a monthly magazine, that I am in editorial board, called &amp;quot;Cypriot Youth&amp;quot;, which educates and raises awareness around issues such as drug addiction and sexual discrimination and so on. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;We have also formed a working group to improve studentâs rights and employment prospects in North Cyprus. The working group involves many participants including the office of the President, the Ministry of Education, state planning boards and universities in North Cyprus. It aims to develop long-run sustainable education policies through targeted hands on solutions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;The main reason why I am applying for such a scholarship is I am planning to make master in Netherlands which is one of the former-state of European Union, on the topic of European Studies. In this one year study period, the university that I have applied to make my masters located in city of Maastricht that denominated European Union&amp;#39;s economic criteria. Being aware of this fact, out of Maastricht University&amp;#39;s high academic reputation, I believe that it help me to analyse Europe better. Spreading the ideas that I will learn or the linkages that I will make while studying abroad would benefit Cyprus and all Cypriots in many ways. On the other hand I know that there are considerably high number of youths from Turkish Cypriot society and Greek Cypriot society studying in Netherlands, which will give me another advantage. I believe in a country like Netherlands, all attempts on improving bi-communal relations and relations with other countries, will form new ideas that increase the tolerance in understanding that will give Cypriots and whole Europeans extra value added. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;It is a fact that, on the Northern Side of the island, there is a high need for professionals which have master on European studies and related areas. The scholarship that I get in order to make my master on European Studies, will fill the one of the urgent need of Turkish Cypriot society. That means, having this education give me high chance in employment when I return back to Cyprus after my studies over. Moreover it is my goal that being the person who serves for Cypriots in order to minimize the problems occur on integration process to European union in political, cultural or economical points. Out of benefiting only Cyprus, incorporating growing European Unions&amp;#39; problems and producing solutions from Cyprus, will both give practical and intellectual benefits to whole Europe. This will lead all Europe to gain surplus value from the scholarship that I will get in order to make my master on European Studies.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;Finally, the scholarship that is for Turkish Cypriots who are somehow victims because of political reason on European Union state Cyprus, make Turkish Cypriots to widen their visions and perspectives by visiting new countries, facing with new cultures and having new relations with new people. To sum up, I think this scholarship is an excellent opportunity for my career and the scholarship seems like the perfect opportunity for me to facing with other cultures, meeting with new people, learn other languages and experience the European education system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#00"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;Please find enclosed my curriculum vitae, academic records and my references. Please contact me if you require any further details or documents. I hope to hear from you in the near future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
