I would appreciate if you take a look at my reference letter

zink — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 18:51:10 GMT

Hello !
I am new to this forum and I have discovered it when I was looking for formal letter samples. I want to apply to a College in Denmark and I want to have a chance to be chosen, so I am requiring help from anyone that is kind enough to offer it. I would also like to use the experience of interacting with the users of this forum to get prepared for the English test (sort of TOEFL, but not exactly) that I am required to pass for that College.
This is my letter of reference that I wrote for my teacher to sign. (I know this practice isn't the right way, but my teacher was very busy, so he asked me to do so). I would appreciate if you could have a look at it and spot mistakes and unusual phrases, if there are any.

i have replaced - [me] = my name

~~begin~~

To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing this letter as a recommendation for [me], a student at â[my school]â National College, in the quality of Teacher and Class Master at â[my school]â National College.

I have known [me] for almost four years, and in this time he has proven to be an extremely valuable student, with a great potential for learning, surpassing many other students.

In my opinion, during the time I spent with [me] in class, I can say I got to know him quite well. He has proven to me that he has an ample knowledge in the field of technology, being capable of operating a PC and virtually any software and device. The student [me] is, without doubt, one of the most valuable students to whom I teach. He has participated in programming school contests, as well as other contests, like Kangourou European Contest of Applied Mathematics in 2007 and the Siemens Join Multimedia design contest, in 2006.

As far as I can say, he is a very conscious student, one of his greatest qualities is the ability to associate and use new information, so that he finds it very easy to understand a bigger concept and get the essential picture. Moreover, I have noticed that [me] progressed since I had first met him, in the way that now he is more mature, more capable of making right decisions. He has now reached a high level of intelligence and awareness and I can fully state that he is ready to meet the intellectual requirements that are demanded by a college course.

[me] is a talented person, and very passionate when it comes to his ambitions. In a conversation we had a little time ago, I had learned that he is inclined toward computer designing, especially web sites. He had told me that he was studying diverse designing techniques and programming languages at home, so that one day he could be prepared for a job as a web designer.

However, despite the fact that [me] has focused on the field of technology and computers, he has a vast general knowledge and he is aware that by also studying other fields he could solve problems that are related to his choice field. He is a sociable person that accommodates in a group rather quickly, being able to handle teamwork efficiently. He knows when to listen and how, and he adapts his ideas to fit the project he is working on, therefore proving to be extremely flexible.

All things considered, I strongly believe that [me] is the right choice for the Multimedia Design and Communication courses within the [my choice] College. His redoubtable qualities and abilities, along with his great potential render [me] able to respond to elevated academic standards and even to outperform them, in order to pursue his career prospects. I am utterly convinced that this student could be a valuable addition to a prestigious academic center, such as your college.

Yours Faithfully,

~~end~~

Thank you for your time.
p.s. I will also post my motivation letter as soon as it's finished.

Need advice for my motivation letter

Batou — Mon, 06 Feb 2006 23:46:10 GMT

Hi everybody,

Here is my motivation letter to apply for a student exchange program. I would really appreciate if somebody could have a look through it and give me some advice about the content of my letter. Iâm not sure if I have to give more details about my education and work experience? (--> Additional to this letter I will send in my academic records and my CV.)

Thank you in advance for every comment,

Batou

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to apply for the *** at *** University in Tokyo.

I am currently studying Business and Economics at the University of ***. My major will be financial markets and international economics. I expect to graduate with a Masters Degree after the next two terms in spring 2007.

I am applying to this program because I would like to improve my skills with regard to establishing relations between different cultures. During my internship at *** I gained an insight into the business of improving relations with and acquiring potential clients from Middle East. I learned how important it is to know about the tradition, customs and language of your business partners the gain their confidence. With regard to my major goal, to work for an international company which does business with Japan, I understand how extremely important it is to obtain an excellent understanding of your counterpart and I believe the best way to do so is to live with them. To get a somewhat closer to this dream and the intention to study for Japanese Proficiency Test, I started attending Japanese language classes in spring 2005.

Furthermore, I see the *** program, with its broadly diversified courses, as an opportunity to improve my social and cultural understanding, because it is not limited to economics subjects. It would give me the opportunity to enter the academic fields from a different viewpoint, which would broaden my knowledge.

Beside the academic reasons I mentioned above, I also have personal reasons for applying for the *** program. After I finished my Bachelor Degree I spent four months in Australia studying for the Cambridge Advanced Exam, which I passed. (This is the equivalent of a TOEIC score between 701 and 910, and a TOEFL score between 92 and 112.) During this time I was able to establish a great network with people from all over the world. I could also make some Japanese friends who invited me last autumn to visit them and showed me their country. The insight I gained during that period was such a tremendous experience that I definitely wish to deepen my knowledge of Japanese culture. Studying abroad for one year in Japan would offer me the possibility to live the everyday life in Japan and help me with this. Finally, I see the chance to improve my Japanese as the key to the understanding of this culture.

I do not underestimate going abroad for one year to a country with a completely different culture, but I definitely believe I am capable and I will do everything to ensure that I give it my upmost to contribute and gain the most I can.

According to reports from prior students and my Japanese friends, I know that *** University has an excellent reputation as one of the best private universities which provides international educational experience. The opportunity to participate in this student exchange program would provide enormous academic and personal benefits to me, and would help me to achieve my ultimate goal of obtaining employment in which I can do business with Japan.

I am looking forward to your positive reply.

Yours faithfully,

Motivation letter - erasmus programme

jjjana — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 20:57:43 GMT

Hello Moderators,
could you be so kind and look at my motivation letter for socrates-erasmus study programme? Let me know, what do you think about it.
Thank you very much and wish you, and all this phantastic forum, all the best.
Regards Janice
____________________________________

Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in studying at the University of XY as an Erasmus student.

I am currently studying Masterâs Degree programme in Regional Geography at the ABC University in DEF. Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very delighted to find the opportunity to spend one semester learning geography at the University of XY. I have decided to apply for this programme because I am sure it would strongly enrich my future studies and help me in my prospective career. Moreover I consider this programme as a great opportunity to get in touch with British culture and educational system. Last but not least, I am very curious about different approaches to the geography at the foreign university.

I have chosen to apply for University of XY, because I really like its module system of study. I specially appreciate the wide range of offered modules and the freedom in making your study plan. Many of the modules offered are unique for me, because there is no equivalent at my home university. Very important for me is also an âExcellentâ rating for teaching of the Geography department and the overall friendly atmosphere at both the university as well as the city. The third main reason why I have chosen XY is its Urban and Regional Policy Research Institute. It specializes in interdisciplinary research on key regional and urban policy issues, which is the field of geography very familiar to me.

During my prior studies I have found out, that I would like to specialize in Urban and Transport Geography. The University of XY gives me a chance to get in touch with these subjects through modules from both Department of Geography and Department of Town and Regional Planning. In my last year at the ABC University I worked on an empirical study with main focus on transportation costs of suburbanisation and urban sprawl. I really liked my project and I am keen to continue in it. I would like to use my stay in XY for further developing my skills in empirical research and starting working on my diploma project. The possibilities that gives me University of XY further expand those at my home university. I would take modules focusing on Transport and Urban geography and European Studies.

I would very much like to spend one semester at the University of XY. This would give me a chance to deepen my geographical knowledge in the inspiring, creative, and cosmopolite environment of one of the largest British universities. Furthermore I could improve my English and increase my confidence in passing the TOEFL examinations after I return. Moreover, I am confident that my experience in Sheffield would be extremely exciting, fun, and valuable for both my studies and overall general development.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,
Janice KKK

Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in participating at The International School of English (ISE) by the University of Malta.

Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very delighted to find the opportunity to spend one month learning English at the University of Malta in this summer. I have decided to apply for this scholarship because the best way to learn a foreign language is to spend time in learning in a foreign country.

After graduating from high school I started studying at *SmartyPants* University in *Prague*. I have always enjoyed traveling and meeting people and learning their languages. By learning the language of the host country, I am able to learn more about the country than I otherwise could. Therefore I decided to take Regional Geography Programme specializing in European Union Studies. My studies are based on experiencing and learning about different cultures. And as the EU countries are at the focus of my lessons, learning about Malta and its language, culture, and people is an essential part of my university studies. [It has been tuned somewhat. This is reasonably good, no?]

I am proud of how much I have accomplished during my past ten years of studying English. Three years ago I successfully passed the FCE Cambridge Examination. But in order to become much better, I need to spend time in an English speaking country. In addition to learning English, I have also been learning German and Hungarian. Concerning Hungarian I was lucky to spend two summers in Hungary attending University Courses. I found that I was able to learn better by residing in the country, and I greatly appreciated the cultural experience because it inspired me to continue learning and improve my skills.

I would very much like to spend one month at the ISE in Malta. This would give me an opportunity to improve my English and increase my confidence in passing the TOEFL examinations after I return. I plan to apply for a scholarship through the SOCRATES â ERASMUS programme. Moreover, I am confident that my experience in Malta would be extremely exciting, fun, and valuable for both my studies and overall general development.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your acceptance.

Yours faithfully,

Jana XZ

Just check whether they spell âprogramâ or âprogrammeâ. I will ask someone from Malta to have a look at your letter. Check back in a few hours or tomorrow.

Overall, we done. I have fixed some of the obvious errors. And I have made the letter sound more confident. Your English skills are good, though more exposure would be helpful. If you want to revise and post your letter again, please do.

Dear Moderators,
first of all I would like to express my great admiration to these pages and to all moderators here. Your work is wonderful â thank you.

I would like to ask you if you would be so kind and look through my motivation letter.

I am a graduate student at the university in the Czech republic and I applied for a scholarship for Summer English Language Course at the University of Malta. My English is quite poor, but I am doing my best. Writing of this letter is very hard for me, although I went through several helping-pages and this forum as well. The reasons are as follow:
- my language skills are bad
- my letter is quite special, because it is âonlyâ for a one month language course. That is why I could not use ordinary rules for writing these letters, because most of them are meant for those, who are eager to enter university or start new job.
- third, I already passed the first round which took place in the Czech rep. and now I was only asked to send my materials to the Malthesen side. They told me that even though there is still chance, that I will not be accepted, it is rather unlikely to happen. (which is a good news)

What I wanted to say is, that I know that my letter is much more poorer than the others in this forum, it is also much shorter. Nevertheless, I ask you for your kind help.
I am looking forward to your comments.
Kind regards Jana

Motivation Letter / Letter of Motivation / Cover Letter
(You see, I have even problems with the title)

Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in taking part at the ISE (The International School of English) by the University of Malta.

Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very delighted to find the opportunity to spend one month learning English at the Universtity of Malta in this summer. I have decided to apply for this scholarship, because from my own experience I know, that the best way, how to learn a foreign language, is to spend some time in respective country.

After graduating from high school I started studying at the Whichever University in Wherever. I have always liked travelling and I also enjoy learning languages and talking to foreigners, which is the best way how to find out more about the country. Therefore I decided for Regional Geography specializing in European Union Studies. This branch is based on experiencing and learning about different culture backgrounds. That is why learning about Malta (as a new EU country), Maltese language, culture and people living there is an essential part of my university studies..

I have been learning English for more than 10 years and today I can say that Iâm on quite a good level. Three years ago I succesfully passed the FCE Cambridge Examination. I think, that language courses arranged here in my country are not very helpful for me any more and for further improvement I would need to spend some time abroad. I have also been learning German and Hungarian and I have already twice went through Summer University Courses of Hungarian language in Hungary in last two years. I really appreciated these experience.

If I got the opportunity to spend a month in this summer at the ISE in Malta, I would like to improve in my English to such a level, that I could pass a TOEFL examination after my return and next year I could apply for a scholarship offered through SOCRATES â ERASMUS programme. In addition to this, the experience of education in Malta would be extremly exciting and valuable for my studies and whole life.

Thank you for your time to consider my request, I am looking forward to your answer.

Yours Faithfully,

Jana XZ
