Organizations should meet the challenge of modern technology and, at times, challenge it themselves. They must also be able to exploit opportunities to create or maintain a good position in the financial market. In short, the banks and big corporations need high quality of financial service where the focus is on the internal and external stock market environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a passion to work with financial transactions, stock market and investment funds, so I would like to apply for the Bachelor&amp;#39;s degree of Administrative studies, track Finance or Accounting into Faculty of .. at Y.. University which starts January 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I graduated with Master&amp;#39;s degree of Law from University of Moscow in 2000. My studies have given me a solid foundation in six fundamental fields: Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Banks&amp;#39; Law, Financial Law and Corporate Law. Since &amp;nbsp; finishing my studies I have been working as a Legal Advisor at&amp;nbsp; Y company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to pursue an international caree in economics, specializing in Finance or Accounting field. My goal is to work as an analyst for one of the top investment banks or hedge funds, or as a Financial Advisor for a private trust in any world financial centre. To achieve this, I need to complete my academic background and to take a Bachelor&amp;#39;s degree in Finance or Accounting at Y..University which offers an outstanding education and has a superior reputation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be successful and achieve high standarts in the financial world, I need to obtain an extensive practical and theoretical knowledge in investment analysis, corporate finance, banking, and financial microstructure. I need to widen and deepen my understanding of quantitative techniques and financial behaviour. I am also eager to learn more about international financial systems and stock market investment funds. I understand that Finance and Accounting are very popular and competitive industry and it is rather challenging to achieve a professional career.

( &lt;em&gt;I MEAN NOT ONLY MARKETING BUT I DONâT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT!!)&lt;/em&gt;A Msc in Management will be an excellent springboard for my future career and will provide me the basis and confidence to realize my dreams.

In addiction, I am aware of the fact that education away from home could provide me the experience of discovering new ways of growing and giving and is an increased responsibility that can contribute to a more wide way of thinking, behaving and viewing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;I believe that at Your University I could achieve what I dream of, thatâs why learning in it would be an honour for me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;I thank you for considering my application and I am looking forward to receiving your decision. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: motivation letter - Urgent</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetterUrgent/gvnmq/post.htm#524755</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jun 2008 00:46:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:524755</guid><dc:creator>anarainbow</dc:creator><description>&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am writing to apply for the internship in your company&amp;#39;s A.
Services Department.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I have recently concluded an Economics degree and a course on
Financial Auditing and Internal Control - an area in which I am particularly
interested - and these have given me a solid base upon which I plan to build my
career.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The proposed internship would thus be an excellent professional
opportunity, not only for its challenging functions, but also for all I will
certainly learn and achieve in a company of such international reference in the
areas of K., W. and E. services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I consider myself a very dynamic, communicative and creative person.
I like team work, sharing and experimenting new ideas in order to solve
challenging problems, and have good organization and analysis skills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Believing I can match the expectations you will deposit in me, I
enclose my curriculum vitae for your review. It would be a pleasure to schedule
an interview with you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I have question....do you think that it is necessary to talk about my language skills ( OR should I have that the employer see my CV (item Language Skills) and about my wish to work in Italy?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;Thank you Philip!&amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Motivation letter to trainee program - Draft</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MotivationLetterTraineeProgramDraft/gdxqj/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 May 2008 19:56:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:520192</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>Could you help me on my motivation letter, I would be very pleased, any suggestion is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Carl&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;br /&gt;May 28, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to work at GLE because I believe that would be not only a pleasure but also a great opportunity to initiate my career in a truly international environment and enhance my knowledge and skills gained during studies on the university. Being part of a trainee program has always been part of my career plan as I believe this kind of program offers an opportunity to young engineers like me to develop their talent and be recognized as future leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am an enterprising and hard-working person. During my studies at Federal University of Santa Catarina I have worked as a scientific researcher on Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations at Integrated Technologies Laboratory. I also have spent 3 months in Valencia-Spain in an international internship program at TB S.A. where I had the opportunity to interact with students from many different countries and enhance my knowledge in Spanish and English. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a sailor and have participated on major national yacht racing competitions and working for a company with such strong link with sea would be plus on my career. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, the most important factor to get promoted and be noticed among many high skilled young people, which is needed to find a rewarding job, is acquired practical experience. That is why I spend a lot of free time on exploring and improving knowledge, this often exceeds beyond my education program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope the information given above will convince you of my diligence and good skills I could utilize as a future leader at GLE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Re: Motivation letter!

My name is Katerina Vaculikova and I am a &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;21 years old&lt;/span&gt; student in my second year of &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;studies, at&lt;/span&gt; the St. Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology, PalackÃ½ University, Olomouc.&amp;nbsp; The purpose of this letter is not only to describe my educational and professional background, but also to &lt;strike&gt;focus your attention on&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;strong&gt; demonstrate&lt;/strong&gt; how highly motivated I am for such an opportunity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   I first became interested in social work through being involved&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt; into&lt;/span&gt; an integrating project for handicapped people under the aegis of EU, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;The Inclusion Czech republic&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;strike&gt;Within this project&lt;/strike&gt; I was responsible for preparing and organising 2-day workshops as well as &lt;strike&gt;for&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;keeping&lt;/span&gt; foreign relations, relations with donors and also with those who made this project really &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;working&lt;/span&gt; â people with any kind of handicap. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    During the last two years of my studies, I &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;went through&lt;/span&gt; my working &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;experiences&lt;/span&gt; in a variety of institutional and other facilities and with many types of clients. As my school &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;practices went on&lt;/span&gt;, I subsequently realised who I &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;want&lt;/span&gt; to work &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;whit&lt;/span&gt;. I feel the closest relation to the target &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;group&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strike&gt;represented by&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strong&gt;of&lt;/strong&gt; elderly or mentally handicapped people. I know that I can offer them the best of myself, try to make their troubles more tolerable and accept them as unique beings. I &lt;strong&gt;cannot&lt;/strong&gt; even describe how satisfied and happy I always feel while working with them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;   Concerning&lt;/strike&gt; my language skills&lt;strike&gt;, they&lt;/strike&gt; are based on my working experiences abroad. I spent almost six months in London, working and discovering &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; beauty of England and I found &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;this place&lt;/span&gt; very beautiful. This two-month working experience could give me a chance to improve my language skills and show me what&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt; the care is alike&lt;/span&gt; in one of the most advanced countries of the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;world. Because&lt;/span&gt; no matter where you are and no matter what you do, the main principle of social work should still be to help &lt;strike&gt;to&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;the needed ones&lt;/span&gt; as much as possible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In order to &lt;strike&gt;be good and &lt;/strike&gt;achieve high standards, I need to obtain not only theoretical, but also practical knowledge and I am convinced that this higher level of experience could help me to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;prove that&lt;/span&gt;. I would like to combine the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;knowledge I already know&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;strike&gt;any&lt;/strike&gt; new information, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;align&lt;/span&gt; the knowledge and gain a wider perspective on &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;the matter&lt;/span&gt;.

Because no matter where you are and no matter what you do, the main principle of social work should still be to help to the needed ones as much as possible.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In order to be good and achieve high standards, I need to obtain not only theoretical, but also practical knowledge and I am convinced that this higher level of experience could help me to prove that. I would like to combine the knowledge I already know and any new information, align the knowledge and gain a wider perspective on the matter. Furthermore, I feel that such an opportunity is a way how to find out what I really want and if my life journey has taken the right direction. Taking this type of challenge can help me to discover what is truly hidden inside me.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;French novelist Anatole France once said: âTo accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.â After a few years of child dreaming I came to know that if I finally try to turn my dreams into reality I could better envision my future and direct the path of my lifeâ¦ and therefore I am catching this opportunity. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I would like to express my interest
for admission to a master program Cultural Economics and Cultural
Entrepreneurship within *** university. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I have completed four years of undergraduate
studies in Tourism and Hospitality management and after graduating I was
certain that I want to undertake a postgraduate study. During studies I became
very interested in the culture and its affect to tourism and sustainable
development of economics. My graduation paper was related to renovation of
cultural architectural objects and its impact for surrounding territory and
economics where I reviewed the problem of cultural heritage in ***country
and came to conclusion that culture can create the balance between material
world and society. &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;(f&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;or me it seems unfinished here, but&amp;nbsp; I was not able&amp;nbsp; to make&amp;nbsp; a &amp;quot;bridge&amp;quot;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Regarding my career aspirations working
in cultural industries and becoming a manager of cultural organization I want
to obtain Master&amp;#39;s degree in cultural entrepreneurship. This knowledge will
allow me to understand specific management principles what is needed in creative
industries and I will be able to fully realize my professional goals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am confident that I have the
necessary combination of self-motivation, background, personality and academic
knowledge to succeed in the Masterâs degree program. I hope that my experience
at Erasmus University will equip me to manage my
future well and also prepare me to make significant contributions to the
development of my country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;Should I write some &amp;quot;looking forward... &amp;quot; -like sentence at the end?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Name Surname&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Shall I write my name and address at the top right side of my Motivation Letter..?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WriteNameAddressRightSide-MotivationLetter/3/gblkh/Post.htm#509395</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2008 14:18:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:509395</guid><dc:creator>Susankay</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Yours faithfully&amp;quot; for an application&amp;nbsp;letter? I think not; too familiar. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is more like a business letter. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, I would make the salutation &lt;u&gt;To Whom It May Concern&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and end it with Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But then again, I give&amp;nbsp;a US perspective. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks, MrP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was wondering what had happened to our members who are BrE native speakers. I was disappointed that, after a couple of days, none came forward to give a reply. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway,&amp;nbsp;many thanks for your response.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
