&lt;P&gt;Dear professor ***,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;a &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;doctoral student at Ecole des Hautes Etudes in Paris and I am&lt;STRIKE&gt; process of&lt;/STRIKE&gt; writing my dissertation devoted to examining&amp;nbsp;âRepresentations of emperors in monasteries and temples under Tâang and Songâ. Professor *** gave me your email address and advised me to write&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRIKE&gt;r&lt;/STRIKE&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; to you for some intractable questions:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;About&lt;/FONT&gt; the statues that Xuanzong (Li Longji)ordered in 743 to establish in Kaiyuan monasteries and Kaiyuan temples, some history sources reported &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;that &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;those images represented the emperor in form of the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning (Yuanshi Tianzun), but we know &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;the most of figures&lt;/FONT&gt; of Xuanzong&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; in place of worship&lt;/FONT&gt; took his own look or the appearance of Immortals (Zhenren)(for example in Ziji Palace and Shangqing Palace)&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;D&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;o you think, from the point of view of Taoist theory and in the background &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;which the court imperial venerated Laozi as their ancestor&lt;/FONT&gt;, it was possible that an icon was made for representing Tang sovereign in &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;the &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;form of Yuanshi Tianzun? If it was, is that judged incoherent with the figure in form of Zhenren? &lt;STRONG&gt;(I don't understand your question either, and I'm Chinese.)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Did Taoists have the same tendency as their Buddhist opponents to develope&lt;STRIKE&gt;r &lt;/STRIKE&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;at level of theory&lt;/FONT&gt; the &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;idÃ©e (spelling) &lt;/FONT&gt;ofâGod-Emperorâby identifying the emperor with the divinity? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;have been &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;perplexed by these questions for a long time. Would you please give me some &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;advises (spelling)&lt;/FONT&gt;?&amp;nbsp; Iâd appreciate you sending me any information you have available.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your time.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By the way - my mother language is Danish. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here it goes: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear National &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Riffle&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Association &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you very much for your enquiry with reference to establishing gun clubs in the schools in California. We â Youth for Safety â would like to &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;underline&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt; [OR emphasise]&lt;/font&gt; our neutrali&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ty w&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;hen it comes to the question about possessions of firearms. We find that our neutral stance make us unable to participate in your gun-clubs-program. Therefore &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;we are sad&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt; [Not really the right phrase here. "we have to inform you&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt; would be more accurate]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; to inform you that we &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;would like&lt;/b&gt; to&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[must] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;refuse your offer. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Our task, as an organisation, is to give &lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;impartially&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[this is an adverb. You need the adjective] &lt;/font&gt;information about the legislation &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;about&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[two "abouts" in one sentence - avoid.&amp;nbsp; "relating to/concerning"]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;firearms and firearms in general&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[confusing - be more accurate]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; After the schools shootings &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;on&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; Columbine High School in 1999 and in Washington in 2002, we find it very important that somebody tries to solve the problems â in an even-handed way. Therefore we are arranging meetings and conferences &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;on&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; schools around the country.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; [to do what?]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We would like to use this opportunity to come up with some other activities that National &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Riffle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; Association and Youth for Safety could collaborate on in the future. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We are arranging a big tour to a great number of High Schools around the country in the coming months, where we want to bring the whole school shooting theme into focus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We would like you, NRA, to participate &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;b&gt;as an active part&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[repetitive - omit] &lt;/font&gt;on this tour. You are going to collaborate with organisations such as Americans for Gun Safety and Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. We know that your attitude towards possession of firearms is not the same as Americans for Gun Safety and Coalition to Stop Grun Violence â but we know that you all are working for a &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;safetier&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; and more secure USA.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Hello, this is my motivation letter, and I need to write more, what else could I add up? Thanks for your help in advance..&lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir/Madam,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;My name is ......, ... years old and have completed my studies in .......... School in ......, a bilingual school where i had the opportunity of learning both, English and Spanish.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I inform my desire to participate in the ........................................ Program. I believe that this program will give me the opportunity to link my past education and experiences with new studies in the hospitality field.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To achieve my goals, I need a good eduation this I strongly believe that this is the right place; it has always been my dream to work in the hospitality industry, mainly because it deals with communicating with people around the world which is personally enriching.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I chose Switzerland as a destination for my further studies as the roots of hospitality are there, and as we all know, hospitality is global, which is why i feel the necessity of going abroad to study and acquire both, theoretical and cultural knowledge. This program is a great opportunity for my professional project as ... is an institution that stimulates the integration of studies and practice, which is very important. This means that I will gain experience and knowledge to return to my homeplace as an irreplaceable worker and become beneficial to my country.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Personally, I am an organized person, motivated, hard-working and ambitious.&amp;nbsp;I have learnt the values of teamwork and organization to accomplish tasks in time by helping my father in his business, which is very important as the program is specialised in BA and makes me strongly believe that this experience will be very valuable in my studies as I have learnt to attend different customers and treat them in a way so they feel comfortable. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(Here I'd show a few results to prove my English and Spanish speaking/writing/reading fluently)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am very interested and motivated to study at your university. Feel free to contact me at any time concerning additional queries or comments regarding my motivation. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your consideration&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully...&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;please tell me what i need to modify/edit..and how can i improve it!

Please note the case of the two phrases (capitalisation of the S or f)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Poppycock, Anon. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Your spelling suggests that you write&amp;nbsp;British English; in which case:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"Yours sincerely" ends a letter that begins "Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms So-and-so".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"Yours faithfully" ends a letter that begins "Dear sir/madam".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Note the capitalisation.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I looked through my spelling and corrected it. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Check my english, please!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks, Yohanna&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I would like to apply for the autumn course starting form August 2006 with a full &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;scholarship&lt;/FONT&gt; if possible.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me introduce myself. I am a&amp;nbsp;*** year old student from ***. I live in a capital of ***. I am a student at *** University, facultaty of social sciences and economy. It is a very famous and acknowledged school in the country. I learn sociology and economics.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The most important things in my life is my family and friends. I try to live a healthy life so if I have got enough time I gladly go in for sports. I love going out, travelling and meeting with new people. In my school I am the member of the student self-government. It is a very hard, but exciting work. We organize the school programs for example the celebrate of first-years-students. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Recently I have learned of your special *** system through a friend, and I am extremely interested in it. I decided to apply for admission to a ***. I have seen many schools website on the net, and I have to admit,&amp;nbsp;it was very difficult to choose one. There is a wide variety of all kinds of subjects, that made me curious of learning more about other fieldsâ¦ &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In&amp;nbsp;*** there are no&amp;nbsp;***. I am so curious about the *** education- system. I would like to go and study in&amp;nbsp;*** because I can improve my english, I can learn&amp;nbsp;about&amp;nbsp;*** and&amp;nbsp;*** culture and I am so intrested in it. I am interested in&amp;nbsp;*** culture and history and â of course â in social sciences, in sociology and in international relationships. Your subjects are very alluring to me. I have chosen your school among many others, because I found the description of the school and the possible subjects very attractive to me. I think it offers a great choice for me to build up international personal relations and to test myself in foreign surroundings. To spend a few months at your *** would be a great possibility for me to learn a new culture and meet people from all around the world.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally, I would like to ask for financial support (a full scholarship) to my educational fee, because unfortunately my family can not afford to finance my semester abroad.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for considering my application. I am really looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Please help with my letter of motivation....</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterMotivation/bpzbn/post.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Nov 2005 02:17:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:158691</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;I'm studying medicine in Germany and I would like to do a clinical elective in Malta next summer. For this, I need to write a "Letter of Motivation"....and I would greatly appreciate some help. I will send the letter to a central organization that will forward the application to various hospitals, that's why I don't know the name of the contact person or the name of the hospital....therefore I had to use the expression "your hospital" which sounds a bit weird to me....do you have any suggestions which expression I could use instead? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;It would also be great if someone could correct spelling or grammar mistakes....and don't hesitate to tell me when I have written some silly crap that should be removed or rewritten. I would also be thankful for some suggestion of what I could add....&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Thanks a lot, Moritz&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Enough talk, here's my letter: &lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Dear madam or sir,chemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I am a 4&lt;SUP&gt;th&lt;/SUP&gt; year student of medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich in Germany. I would like to apply for an elective period of 30 days in September 2006 in your hospital.&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I have completed electives in internal medicine, rheumatology and psychiatry, but I would like to do my fourth and final elective period in surgery, a subject in which I already have some experience: I did my alternative civilian service in the emergency room of the surgical university hospital of Heidelberg for 13 months. I learned a lot about clinical work during this time, and the experiences I had there were one of the reasons that made me decide&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;to study medicine. I regularly do nightshifts in a surgical ward in the university hospital of Munich as a part-time job besides my studies.&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I would like to do a clinical elective abroad &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;to learn more about hospital organisation,&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;provision of medical care and medical education outside Germany.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; I am considering to specialize in surgery after I have qualified as a M.D. and I think it would be very interesting for me to learn about surgical practice in other countries.&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I hope to learn a lot from clinical staff in your hospital and to be present at rounds and in the operation theatre. I could help with physical examination, history taking, drawing blood and other procedures during my elective period. &gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I also have some experience in medical care because I worked as a paramedic in Hamburg and as a facilitator for disabled people in London before I started studying medicine.&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I am reasonably familiar with laboratory work which is required for my doctoral thesis in heart surgery. The topic of my doctoral thesis is the comparision of a new kind of coronary artery bypass graft with established grafts through various methods.&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I would like to do my elective period in Malta both because fellow students who went there have spoken highly of their clerkships and because I am fascinated by Maltaâs culture and history. I went there for holidays four years ago and I would like to return for a longer time, hopefully next summer. &gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&gt;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/SPAN&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
