I came to the subtle realization that I do not know or understand nearly as much as I would like to or have envisioned myself knowing. There is much more I need to learn to realize my dream and direct those stories into good movies. I want to be the best I can be and as a woman I feel the need to prove myself even more since the majority of great directors consists of men. &lt;br /&gt;But when people ask me why I choose such a difficult line of work to get into my answer is a standard one: I chose film, because I believe I can excel in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to go to *** because I am interested in exploring the world, looking for opportunities. The knowledge, skills and experiences that I benefit from the *** program will contribute greatly to my future career. A terrific benefit of this course is not only to boost chance of my future international career but also I will have opportunities to meet people from various nations and cultures, offering me different points of view and contributing to my flexibility and creativity, besides the cultural and language gains. I believe that life is not just about sitting and planning rather it is more importantly, about going out and implementing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The *** at UNI is one of the few that offers me the opportunity to enhance my knowledge in film in such a way that I would be ready to make a real contribution to the industry after one year, opposed to other universities where the film programs mainly take two years or more. This is not only impossible financially but I prefer the practical way of learning that is offered UNI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one blockage at this stage, in my having a great learning experience at UNI: funding of expenses. At this point in my life I am independent and responsible for my own expenses. It is very difficult for me to raise funds from any organizations, as they mainly fund students who are Canadian or US Citizens. As for Dutch organizations it is hard to get funding for a private learning facility like UNI. A second problem is my living expenses. I have a student visa; therefore I will not be able to work in the US during my year in school. I will have to invest a great part of my savings in living expenses. My stay&amp;nbsp; is partly being funded through a student loan taken from the Dutch Government. Hence, I would certainly need financial aid in the form of a grant to help pay for my tuition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that I will be accepted as an applicant and a beneficiary of the *** Grant for the 2008-2009 programs. I am confident that I am qualified and will get everything out of my time at the UNI. &lt;br /&gt;I would be grateful if you could give my application your most favorable consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully</description></item><item><title>Re: Motivation Letter!

Even if I am still really interested in marketing subjects, I decided to apply to a Master in Management because my belief is that it could complete my theorical education in the best way, giving me a more complete preparation to be capable of working in different fields. ( &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. I am convinced that in order to be competitive itâs important acquire more specialized knowledge: specialization in Management would strengthen my knowledge and help me forward with my career aim, that consists in working in a large, attractive company as a manager, preferably in an international context.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;This is one of the reason why Iâve chosen to continue my studies in an English program. 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>Grant application letter </title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GrantApplicationLetter/glwmd/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:34:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:557688</guid><dc:creator>colorada</dc:creator><description>Hay,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to write a application letter to get a grant for my tuition but since I&amp;#39;m not a native english speaker I would greatly appreciate it when someone would check this out and give me some comments.&lt;br /&gt;thank you 100 times&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m applying for a tuition application and since I&amp;#39;m not from the US I&amp;#39;m not really sure how to.&lt;br /&gt;I made a first draft and I would greatly appreciate it if someone would take a look at it and tell me if it&amp;#39;s a good one or leave some comments.&lt;br /&gt;Many thanks!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear sir/ Madam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this letter, I would like to apply for the *** tuition for the *** program in at *** in ***, which will start October 2nd 2008.&lt;br /&gt;I studied ***, from 2001-2005, at The Haarlem Business School in Holland, where I obtained a bachelorâs degree.

I learned so much in just 8 weeks, much more then I imagined possible in such a short time.&amp;nbsp; After the&amp;nbsp; filmmaking program I worked as an intern at a film in NY: ***(title film) &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This helped me to enhance my theoretical knowledge with practical experiences.&amp;nbsp; The film won the Sundance film festival in 200..., which made it an extra special experience having worked on it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;In 2007 I moved to *** where I learned Spanish and worked on a film project at NAME productions. In that period I also developed a love for movie trailers. They can make us laugh, thrill us, anger us, and leave us with goose bumps all within two minutes.&amp;nbsp; I see it as a challenge to leave an impression or feeling behind in such a short time. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Making a good trailer can be the start of making a good movie as trailers can be used to raise funding for a film before it is even shot.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;It can be the way for me to achieve my goal; starting small and eventually make it big.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my travels I started writing down my ideas and experiences with the intention of getting them on screen. I came to the subtle realization that I do not know or understand nearly as much as I would like to or have envisioned myself knowing. There is much more I need to learn to realize my dream and direct those stories into good movies. I want to be the best I can be and as a woman I feel the need to prove myself even more since the majority of great directors consists of men. &lt;br /&gt;But when people ask me why I choose such a difficult line of work to get into my answer is a standard one: I chose film, because I believe I can excel in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to go to *** because I am interested in exploring the world, looking for opportunities. The knowledge, skills and experiences that I benefit from the *** program will contribute greatly to my future career. A terrific benefit of this course is not only to boost chance of my future international career but also I will have opportunities to meet people from various nations and cultures, offering me different points of view and contributing to my flexibility and creativity, besides the cultural and language gains. I believe that life is not just about sitting and planning rather it is more importantly, about going out and implementing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The *** at UNI is one of the few that offers me the opportunity to enhance my knowledge in film in such a way that I would be ready to make a real contribution to the industry after one year, opposed to other universities where the film programs mainly take two years or more. This is not only impossible financially but I prefer the practical way of learning that is offered UNI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one blockage at this stage, in my having a great learning experience at UNI: funding of expenses. At this point in my life I am independent and responsible for my own expenses. It is very difficult for me to raise funds from any organizations, as they mainly fund students who are Canadian or US Citizens. As for Dutch organizations it is hard to get funding for a private learning facility like UNI. A second problem is my living expenses. I have a student visa; therefore I will not be able to work in the US during my year in school. I will have to invest a great part of my savings in living expenses. My stay&amp;nbsp; is partly being funded through a student loan taken from the Dutch Government. Hence, I would certainly need financial aid in the form of a grant to help pay for my tuition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that I will be accepted as an applicant and a beneficiary of the *** Grant for the 2008-2009 programs. I am confident that I am qualified and will get everything out of my time at the UNI. &lt;br /&gt;I would be grateful if you could give my application your most favorable consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully&lt;br /&gt;</description></item><item><title>Help with writing a letter to GP's</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WritingLetter/gkcxc/post.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:45:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:551074</guid><dc:creator>annab</dc:creator><description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Could I please ask you to review my letter and indicate what needs to be changed in order for this to come across as a letter from a professional.&amp;nbsp; I am professional and qualified in what I do, I am just not so good with words.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I am an alternative health practitioner (Ayurveda) and I want to write to all the GP&amp;#39;s where I live to introduce myself and let them know what I am doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanking you in advance&lt;br /&gt;AnnaB&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dear Dr&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I am writing to introduce my self to you, (my name).&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am an Ayurvedic practitioner and have a clinic at ??? medical centre where I see patients for health promotion and wellness, and for improved health.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I qualified in 2005 after taking a 3 year degree in Ayurveda at ?? University.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I then spent time in India gaining practical experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As I am now seeing more and more clients, and some maybe patients of yours, I thought I should advise you of what I am doing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ayurveda is the world&amp;#39;s oldest scientific system of natural medicine, having its heritage in ancient India. It is formally recognized by the World Health Organisation and is known to be a complete health care system, which emphasizes prevention of disease, as well as promotion of health and longevity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ayurveda holds that the primary force in the causation of disease is imbalance resulting from disruption of homeostasis or immunity. Ayurveda does not separate mind from body and places equal importance on mental, emotional, and behavioural factors, which are seen as critical in the development of imbalances, hence disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ayurveda tells us that every creation inclusive of a human being is a model of the universe. In this model, the basic matter and the dynamic forces (Dosha) of the nature determine health and disease, and also determine the medicinal value of any substance (plant and mineral). The Ayurvedic practices, chiefly that of diet, life style, herbal preparation, massage, and meditation, aim to maintain the Dosha equilibrium.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Therapy is customised to the individual&amp;#39;s constitution (Prakruti). Numerous Ayurvedic medicines (plants in particular) have been tested for their biological and clinical potential using modern validation, and thereby setting an interface with modern medicine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;There have been much research on the viability of Ayurvedic herbs to the cure of diseases like AIDS, Cancer, Tuberculosis etc., these experiments have met with great success. However, my current experience would allow me to refer more seriously ill patients to their GP and/or a more qualified Ayurvedic doctor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Should you wish to know more about me or Ayurveda I would be delighted to hear from you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yours faithfully&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: PLEASE CHECK MY LETTER OF MOTIVATION</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/CheckLetterMotivation/gjdgb/post.htm#546313</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:49:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:546313</guid><dc:creator>optilang</dc:creator><description>Hi, and welcome!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Dear Sir/ Madam,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The game of supply and demand is a never-ending developed process.

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.
