&lt;p&gt;Please find below the draft letter, for your kind review and

&lt;p&gt;Dear &lt;b&gt;Sir/Madam &lt;/b&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[There will be female CEOs or senior managers]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;We
&lt;strike&gt;have the pleasure&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[would like] &lt;/font&gt;to introduce &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ourselves&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; as &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; group of investors &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;who&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; have &lt;strike&gt;qualified
managements and engineers&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;engineeering and management qualifications and &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strike&gt;with&lt;/strike&gt; more than 20 years of experience&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; of&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
business transactions &lt;strike&gt;being carried out&lt;/strike&gt; in Saudi
 Arabia&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; and the&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; Middle East region
as well as &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;internationally&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Through our establish
companies, &lt;/strike&gt;We &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;deal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; with a varied range of products and services&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; namely&lt;strike&gt; â such as&lt;/strike&gt; Coffee shops, Insurance,
Materials Handling &amp;amp; Storage, Industrial Products, Real Estate, Building
Materials, Chemical Products &amp;amp; Specialities Products. 
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;reputation and business strengths that have&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; been earned by our companies &lt;strike&gt;today,&lt;/strike&gt; is due to &lt;strike&gt;the
professionally equipped&lt;/strike&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;our highly professional &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and able staff, who have a varied experience of the &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;region's&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
market and good knowledge of &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;dealing with our&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; customers to their satisfaction. This
is further enhanced by the innovative ideas of the management, who strive &lt;strike&gt;from
time to time in&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;creating&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;to increase&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/font&gt;awareness &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;of our companies in the market place &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and &lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;&lt;b&gt;keeping the investments at par to the
latest development of today's world. &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[Cannot quite make out what you mean here]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We
are now in a position to &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;seek for and &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;accommodate &lt;strike&gt;and look for&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;more businesses&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;more participants in our growth.

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In recent years&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
several emerging furniture markets have caught the attention of &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; global
furniture exporters. The Middle East region,
despite being regarded a âhot-bedâ of sorts&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; has emerged as an important
non-traditional furniture market. Countries such as Saudi
 Arabia, Kuwait
and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) offer significant market opportunities for
furniture exporters around the world. Driven by the wealth gained from the
all-time-high price for petroleum products in the world market, and the booming
construction industry, particularly in &lt;strike&gt;the &lt;/strike&gt;Saudi Arabia and&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;UAE, the demand
for furniture in the region has grown rapidly.&lt;strike&gt; in recent times.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;An overview of the Middle
East furniture market is attached&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ff1493"&gt;Nevertheless,
it must be realised that the furniture market is unequal in size throughout the
region, as socio-economic and political volatility, which grips a large portion
of the region, has adversely affected demand for furniture. &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[This might be a BIG put-off for some people. I would not include it]&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Your company is one &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;strike&gt;of our short listed that &lt;b&gt;seems to fit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the target
market and segment planning to fulfil their need.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strike&gt;By accounted on our strengths that distinguishes us in the
marketplace by:&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The strengths that we can offer in this market are:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;

I would like to apply for program &amp;gt; at Technical University in &amp;gt;. At my faculty, I have already gained basic theoretical knowledge in sciences that are applied in industry. Courses that I studied during my education provided me skills at several disciplines like mass, energy and heat transfer, process analysis and regulation, unit operation and separation processes, construction of chemical as well as biochemical reactors, etc. Beside theory, my skills in laboratory are at high level and I have some experience in industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Program &amp;gt; design will provide me necessary practice in most developed chemical industry in the world, as well as the modern manner of being the professional chemical engineer, who is responsible and independent individual. That opportunity I do not have in my country, and because of that I must seek one from you. &amp;gt; and  &amp;gt; is my first choice as a foreign country for my further education, both because fellow students have spoken very highly about your programs and because your country is the leader in chemical industry. Besides obvious reasons, may affection for your country have deeper roots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No education is complete without experience. Armed with a solid understanding of academic principles, I will be able to adapt and modify my theoretical knowledge in order to meet challenges like identification and solving problems, finding technological solutions for design of processes and products in industry, involving creative way of thinking, respecting deadline etc. I am motivated and curious person who can easily adapt to any situation. My friends know me to be a very effective and helpful team player. I enjoy learning from others and helping others when I can.

&lt;p&gt;I am new here! I would like to ask you for some help. I wrote a motivation letter 4 university but as im not native english speaker then i do expect errors!&amp;nbsp;Please check it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would be greatful if you could give me a backup for my 'presenation'' .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THANK U!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DeeDee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir or Madam, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am writing to apply for a postgraduate programme in&amp;nbsp; Law and&amp;nbsp; Relations in September 0000. I have graduated with diploma in professional undergraduate programme acquiring the qualification of Business Administration from *** Business School in February 2005. Complementing my formal, I have practical experience with a wide variety of companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My inspiration is my parents and friends. Social life is equally significant to me as the time spent studying. It means a lot to me to spend a quality time with my family and a possibility to gain new friends. With some of them I share a great passion for soccer, with others yoga or diving, travelling, attending various festivals and exhibitions, with some reading adventures of Harry Potter. I really do enjoy their company and will always find time for them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other aspiration is my studies and work.&amp;nbsp; My first serious work experience in 1999 originated curiosity in the area of international law and relations. It was during the time when I was working for State Institution - Competition Council as an expert of the second analytical division where I examined applications and investigates possible violations of the Competition Law like prohibited agreements, dominant positions, and mergers within field of products and services. I helped to supervise the competition environment that covered not only local but also international companies. I learned how to prepare draft opinions and decisions as well as to deal with ever-changing multiple tasks. In August of 1999 came a turning point and I decided to gain a deeper understanding of business environment and moved towards my further development â full time studies in business school where my major was focused on studying Business, Management and Economics; I also took several courses of law but it just seems insufficient amount for me. In 2001 I took an initiative and the business school offered me opportunity to study at the YYYYY School of Business, Denmark from August 2001 till June 2002 as a full-time non-degree student. I passed successfully nine courses; especially I was inspired by Intercultural communication in European Context course that gave me theoretical and practical understanding of international relations trough the perspective of culture; I would like to develop even more detailed knowledge towards this area in my postgraduate studies. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="CVNormal"&gt;In the summer 2004 I spent pre diploma internship in âZZZZ Bankâ I was a assisting to internal auditors on evaluation and preparation of reports on internal/external compliance with national and international regulations regarding unusual transactions that was a major part of my thesis. Being able to see the influence of international law concerning banking was a key experience to me. In February 2005 I graduated with weighted average grade of qualification of 8.303.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="CVNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="CVNormal"&gt;In my last job is marketing manager in private sector Construction Company where every day work is not directly affected by international law or relations, I have learned to create, analyse tenders, draft proposals within the field of construction. Nowadays, I am developing and supporting business contacts and managing administrative tasks. My work gives me opportunity to put my knowledge and theoretical tools into practise but now it is time to continue my education, I believe in life-long learning with combination of experience that ensures development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="CVNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="CVNormal"&gt;During seven years I was challenged by surrounded environment and I become more confident person, the theoretical and practical experience is a real value to me. I have gained experience to carry out independent research, to work in team and to interact with people representing different cultures and backgrounds, to be flexible, to adapt and to take initiative but at the same time to be responsible for my actions. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have learned from various sources that VVVV University is known for its high academic standards and the faculties reputation for excellent teaching, offered modules&amp;nbsp; as well extended social life. My background is a solid pathway to masterâs degree. Job experience in state institution, banking sector and private sector affirmed how significant is the influence of international law and relations has on business. In combination with my studies I am determined to seek for wider knowledge to form my career. I would like to offer my experience and insight to international relations from East European perspective, exchange knowledge, fluency in Russian would allow to access wide information if necessary. Thus, I fell confident that the Master in&amp;nbsp; Law and&amp;nbsp; Relations is the right choice for me and I would appreciate to receive the opportunity to study at the University of VVVV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much for considering my request and I look forward to your positive response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/p&gt;

The Masters-courses will finish this year in August with the final exams and are followed by a Masterâs thesis based on a six-month project of scientific research starting in October.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beginning of this May I had the opportunity to visit the Weizmann Institute of Science in the course of an introductory visit. Our trip was part of the initiation of a cooperation between the Feinberg Graduate School and the Molecular Biology Program in G&amp;#246;ttingen. Being very interested in your country I had the strong desire to conduct an external Masterâs-Project in Israel already before this visit. My motivation was further increased by the wonderful impression the Weizmann Institute of Science and the whole trip had on us. For me the external Master would be a fascinating combination of science and learning about Israel in all its different aspects directly and beyond what we see in the daily news. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;In preparation of the visit I was examining the Web page of your Institute and the key words âEvolutionâ and âEnzyme Mechanismâ immediately caught my attention. For me Evolution has always been the most fascinating concept of biology and maybe even life itself. The discussion of patterns and phenomena under its premises is one of the most interesting intellectual challenges in science. Unfortunately I did not meet opportunities to actually work on topics combining biochemistry and evolution. Therefore I was very excited learning about your group and my interest was further strengthened by a short introduction I got during the âLife Science Open Dayâ from Dr. YY and a recommendation from Prof. ZZ, whom we met during our trip. Interestingly I encountered the class of Terpene Synthases during my work at the Max-Planck Institute in Jena. Of this interesting class of enzymes many show broad promiscuous function and shift of products even between closely related species. Those activities have most likely evolved in an interesting co-evolution between plant, herbivore and the enemies of the herbivore. Taking all this together I would be more than motivated and very thankful to able to join your group for conducting my Masterâs-project.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bring a very strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry and have experience in working independently. Born in Hamburg I started my career at the University of Jena were I studied Molecular Biology / Biochemistry for six semesters. Continuing In the field I joined the highly selective international MSc / PhD-Program in G&amp;#246;ttingen, which is conducted by the University, the Max-Planck-Institutes of Experimental Medicine and Biophysical Chemistry as well as the German Primate Centre. During my studies in G&amp;#246;ttingen I followed my interest in theoretical, structural and computational related topics by choosing projects in the fields of NMR and 3D reconstruction based on single particle electron cryo-microscopy.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the period of the Masterâs-project I will receive funding from third parties as the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) or the Program in G&amp;#246;ttingen, therefore I would not require any funding from your Group or the Feinberg Graduate School. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enclosed a short CV with two reference-addresses, I would be happy to provide further documents such as degrees and letters of recommendation on demand.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to hear from you soon.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hannes Uchtenhagen&lt;br /&gt;</description></item><item><title>please, correct my letter</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCorrectMyLetter/cmdgn/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 May 2006 17:47:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:226980</guid><dc:creator>ravi3511</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I
am &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt; motivated and curious 20-year-old interactive design student from
Vilnius, Lithuania. I am excited to be applying for an internship in
your company &lt;b&gt;with the possibility of&lt;/b&gt; joining your team where I can apply my skills,
talents, and enthusiasm.&amp;nbsp; I
visited&amp;nbsp;the web site&lt;b&gt; of&amp;nbsp; *** company&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;but &lt;/b&gt;I would like some additional
information&amp;nbsp;about applying to your team.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As part of my training, I am required to complete a &lt;b&gt;practicum&lt;/b&gt; in a media company for least&lt;b&gt; 45 days&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;and I am hoping to be able to&lt;/b&gt; start in July 2006.&amp;nbsp; The opportunity to be a member of your
working group would &lt;b&gt;be invaluable in helping me to complete my practical &lt;/b&gt;experience
requirement.&amp;nbsp; I would be &lt;b&gt;grateful for&lt;/b&gt; the chance to learn from experienced workers. I am sure that working at &lt;b&gt;your&lt;/b&gt; company &lt;b&gt;would&lt;/b&gt; provide
me with &lt;b&gt;not only professional&lt;/b&gt; experience in &lt;b&gt;a prestigious international organization&lt;/b&gt;, but also the opportunity for personal
enrichment through working in a &lt;b&gt;dynamic multicultural
&lt;/b&gt;environment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I
am &lt;b&gt;a conscientious&lt;/b&gt; person dividing my time in double studies (&lt;b&gt;The Interactive Design program&lt;/b&gt; at Vilnius College of Construction&lt;b&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;and Design and Art &lt;b&gt;Criticism&lt;/b&gt; at Vytautas Magnus University). My &lt;b&gt;post-secondary&lt;/b&gt; education
consists of one year at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; in which I
&lt;b&gt;studied interior design&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;I have since focussed&lt;/b&gt; on interactive
design. During my &lt;b&gt;two years in the&lt;/b&gt; interactive design program&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; I
have &lt;b&gt;acquired considerable knowledge&lt;/b&gt; of digital movie &lt;b&gt;software, graphic&lt;/b&gt; software and interactive media. I enjoy &lt;b&gt;problem-solving&lt;/b&gt;,
&lt;b&gt;teamwork&lt;/b&gt;, public speaking and creative thinking in the Art Criticism program at Vytautas Magnus University&lt;b&gt;, where I am improving&lt;/b&gt; my
ability to work under pressure to tight deadlines, &lt;b&gt;my attention to
detail, and my self-motivation&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Along with my double studies, I am&lt;/b&gt; working as&lt;b&gt; a &lt;/b&gt;freelancer designer&lt;b&gt; on&lt;/b&gt; various video projects:&amp;nbsp; short movies, installations, animation,
and motion graphics.&amp;nbsp; I am also participating in a number of contemporary art projects and on personal projects. &lt;b&gt;In the process, &lt;/b&gt;I have obtained basic practical experience as a &lt;b&gt;designer and a team&lt;/b&gt; worker.&amp;nbsp; I like to communicate with people and I know the
&lt;b&gt;value&lt;/b&gt; of teamwork and&lt;b&gt; effort, &lt;/b&gt;as these are the cornerstones of
success.&amp;nbsp; My coworkers know me to be a very
effective, hardworking, creative, passionate and helpful team player. I
enjoy learning from others and helping others where I can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I
am a goal-oriented person and have already set a few important goals
for myself.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; First, I want to learn the &lt;b&gt;skills needed&lt;/b&gt; to be a
professional designer &lt;b&gt;through&lt;/b&gt; internship in &lt;b&gt;a &lt;/b&gt;company like yours. Internship&lt;b&gt; with&lt;/b&gt; a prestigious company like *** will provide me &lt;b&gt;with the ability to accomplish&lt;/b&gt; my second
goal of getting a good job at &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt; company in Munich after &lt;b&gt;graduating from&lt;/b&gt; the &lt;b&gt;Interactive Design&lt;/b&gt; program next year. As a determined and prepared
&lt;b&gt;interactive&lt;/b&gt; designer, my third goal and ultimate dream is to have my
own interactive design company in Vilnius.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Internship in your company would be a pivotal part of my &lt;b&gt;learning experience, which&lt;/b&gt; would enable me to &lt;b&gt;reach mygoals, and&lt;/b&gt;
I am confident that&lt;b&gt; the &lt;/b&gt;knowledge, skills and friendships gained at your
company would prove invaluable throughout my career. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I have attached &lt;/b&gt;my CV, which provides further personal details.&amp;nbsp; Thank you for your time and &lt;b&gt;consideration of &lt;/b&gt;my request. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CK&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(NB:&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt; Interaction Design&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Interactive Design&lt;/i&gt; both seem to be current; please choose one to use consistently.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please, check my motivation letter</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckMotivationLetter/ckphl/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Apr 2006 16:38:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:220637</guid><dc:creator>Cla</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma color=#000080&gt;Hello,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir/Madam,&lt;br&gt;My name is â¦â¦â¦.. With this letter, I would like to
apply as a graduate student for the Master of Science in Local Economic
Development at your School. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;







&lt;p&gt;I got a degree in Construction Engineer in December
2000 from the University of Tor Vergata in Rome. [I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LINK THIS SENTENCE TO THE REST, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION MY DEGREE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IT HELPS UNDERSTANDING WHAT I WRITE BELOW. ANY SUGGESTIONS?]&lt;br&gt;Ever since I was a young child I have always been
extremely interested in knowing new cultures and new languages as a way to
widen my mind and my capacity of understanding people. Thatâs why I have always actively
researched possibilities to live and study abroad. In fact, both at the High
School and at the University I participated in exchange programmes that gave me
the possibility to spend a period abroad studying in local educational
institutions. When I was 17 years old I spent three months in New Zealand where I had the possibility to attend the high
school and be integrated in the local community. Later, during my university
studies, I won a scholarship to be an Erasmus student in Paris for a year in one of the Faculties of Architecture
in Paris and another scholarship to participate to the Leonardo da Vinci program in an architecture firm. My first year in France had a very strong impact on my ideas about my
future career. In a Faculty of Architecture the approach to the world of
construction was completely different from the one at the Faculty of
Engineering where I was studying. During that year I got exposed to new
perspectives and in particular I learnt about the social aspects related to the
world of construction. For the first time I realised how designing buildings
could affect peopleâs lives and how the correct planning of cities had the
power of improving their living conditions. I started realising then that I
could give a very strong social and ethical meaning to the rather technical job
of engineer. I can trace in that period the birth of my interest for the development
as a subject to study and to be involved in. &lt;br&gt;Therefore in the last period of my studies and at the
beginning of my career as a young engineer I tried to build up a parallel
personal knowledge on this sector. Through the reading of articles and books on
development and cooperation, and through the participation to conferences and
public events, I became more and more aware of the fact that this was really
the sector that interested me and I tried to reorient my working perspective
and move forward.&lt;br&gt;I realised in fact that working in the field of
development would fulfil two important needs I had and still have: to give an
ethical dimension to my work and at the same time to satisfy my thirst for travelling
and discovering new cultures. &lt;br&gt;I eventually succeeded to start working for an Italian
NGO which was searching for engineers for post-war reconstruction projects in
the Balkans. It is four years now that I have been working for that same NGO with
increasingly higher responsibilities and positions and I shifted my main area
of work from a technical participation to a more strategic one. In particular
in the past two and half years I have worked as country representative of my
NGO in Eritrea and Egypt. &lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p&gt;The fact that my studies are not related to the way
my work has shaped up hasn't really affected me nor created major difficulties.
On the contrary I think that my degree can be considered a very important point
of strength. In fact my studies provided me not only with a specific technical
knowledge related to construction and building related issues. In fact, more
than anything else, they gave me methodological tools to be used in different
fields of research and provided me with a very methodical and systematic mental
structure. In particular I developed strong analytical skills and the capacity to
elaborate models to study the reality by seizing its most relevant aspects. I
also developed a capacity of creating logical links among phenomena that
apparently donât bear any relation with one other. Moreover my studies gave me
the mental habit to always go into depth of things and not being satisfied with
only the superficial evidence that comes out from the first approach. &lt;br&gt;In my working experience I have had many confirmations
that the methodological skills provided by my studies can be a very powerful
tool. In fact it was for me relatively easy to get acquainted with the main development-related
theories and to learn and internalize in a short time completely new concepts.
In a fairly short time I became effective and competent, being able to
undertake varied and different responsibilities on different specific sectors
of intervention. People I meet for my work are often surprised to discover that
I am and engineer and that I didnât attend a specific course in development. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Now, after having worked for a few years in
development, in different sectors and with different duties, I feel that I am
at a turning point of my career and that it is time for me to move up and
forward. In this I am guided by two different needs. On one side I feel the
personal need to give a more organic and theoretical ground to the knowledge I
acquired on-the-job. &amp;nbsp;On the other side I
need to develop more specific skill and I want to specialize in a more specific
sector. My goal would be to become an expert in a particular field instead of
having only many different unspecialised skills. The field of specialisation I
have chosen is local development. In fact in the last year I have been working
on projects related to Small and Micro Enterprises and their growth and I have become
more and more interested in all the aspects related the local economic
development in general.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;My experience in an Italian NGO has been a very
enriching one from a professional and human view point. I will always be very
grateful to all the people I met and worked with. They transmitted to me their
passion and dedication and they gave me very precious knowledge and advice.
Nonetheless in my position now I have few possibilities to learn new skills or
new concepts and I feel that my work has become a unchallenging daily routine.
My plans now would be therefore to work for bigger international organisations
such as UN agencies or consulting firms with a more stimulating work
environment. There I would have the possibility to follow larger programs with
a larger impact and work with top professionals. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;I am aware that my plan is a very ambitious one and it
needs to be carefully prepared. In order to achieve my goals a more solid
academic background is absolutely mandatory because the competition is very
high and I need to upgrade my skills and competencies. To take a year off from
work is also a very challenging and radical decision. It implies a strong financial
commitment both because of the actual costs incurred and for the waiver of a
year salary. At the same time it entails absence from the working environment
with no guarantees about the future possibilities. It requires therefore a very
strong motivation and a very careful choice. That's why I think that the only winning decision is to study in a university providing the
highest possible quality of academic training and with internationally
recognised expertise&lt;/p&gt;







&lt;p&gt;This is the reason why I
have chosen the London School of Economics, for its international renown as
leading institution in the field of development. &lt;br&gt;The Master of Science in Local Economic Development I
have chosen would allow to improve my academic knowledge in the working field and
to enhance my possibilities to pursue a career in an International
Organisation. In fact the Master would allow me to deepen and widen my
knowledge on development in general, to gain a very accurate understanding of
local and regional development and to develop new specific skills.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;could became a specialist in a sector that not only fascinates
me a lot, but that is also growing and taking more and more place in the
international agendas and that requires more and more professionals able to
cope with the increasing challenges brought about by international situation.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;I think I could contribute to this programme for
in many ways. I am very tenacious and determined to pursue what I want to
achieve and I never give up any challenge. I can bring to the program an
overview from my experience in the working field, relating real problems that
practitioners in the field of development are asked to tackle in real life and
not only on the paper. I am used to studying and working in international
environments that require very good communication skills, high tolerance and
capacity of understanding different cultural behaviours and different ways to
approach and solve problems. I am used to analyse and process large amount of
data on complex issues in a quick and effective way in order to find solutions.
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;am determined and confident that I make
an exceptional candidate for the program. I believe I will not only be able to
achieve high results, but to contribute substantially to the London School of
Economics as well. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Yours faithfully,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
