Hi,

You have a lot of spelling mistakes. Do you have access to computer software that checks spelling for you automatically? That would help.

Good luck to you, I hope they accept you at Summer School.

Best wishes, Clive

This is the first letter for stating why I want to attend the Summer School :

Dear Sir/Madam

This year, in February, I successfully completed my Law studies in my country. During the past four years, I have studied different legal topics, but the most interesting area for me was the one connected with International and European Law. After I attended a European Union seminar in my country, I was even more sure that I would find myself in this field and that this is to be my future direction.

My country has status as an EEU candidate and I hope that after I aacquire the necessary knowledge and experience I will be able to help my country to implement the often difficult political and economic reforms that will bring my country closer to Europe. Based on this and at the same time having a clear European perspective, I have strong motivation to come and learn about the historical uniqueness of the European Union.

No education is comleted without experience. All of my knowledge needs practice, and coming to your school and visiting the European Union institutions will allow me to better understand its political system and get a clear picture of how it works.

I was born and live on the European continent. Even though my country is not a part of the European Union, we share the same dream about the things we care deeply about: peace, security, participatory democracy, justice and solidarity. I'm absolutely sure that, coming there, I will gain knowledge that I will be very valuable to my country.

I have the conscience of a European, with great hope for my country to one day be a part of your family.

In conclusion, I strongly hope to participate in the Summer School.

And the other letter about motivation for requesting the reduced (50%) registration fee:

Dear Sir/Madam

I live in one of the poorest countries in Europe, which for the past 16 years has been struggling its way through transition. I believe that you know the main history of my country, the crises and the recent war that we had, which produced even bigger poverty. At present, our goverment is trying to make the economy rise yet the average salary is no more than 150 euros a month.

I come from a four member family and none of us are employed. We are a traditional agricultural family where our main occupation, from which we find resources for our finances, is agriculture and agronomy. The income from this work was not enough for my education, so during my studies I also worked to pay for my education. In this area my country provides very small or no scholarship for students.

Since I graduated I still don't have a job, and now I'm in a position where I can come to Sumer School only if the fee can be reduced. With with my parents' help and my savings I can pay the rest of the expenses.

Considering the fact of my extremely strong wish to participate in your Summer School, I kindly request your help.

I'm not sure if the begining of the letter is correct It's OK.

and I also don't know how to end. Just say '

Thank you for your consideration of my application.

Yours sincerely,

Dear ***,

I am currently studying my second year at the Business programme at the ZZZ. I am now seeking an interesting challenge an excellent contribution to my education by applying for one exchange term in YYY.

At an early age I developed parts of my personality trough sports. For many years I competed a lot in show jumping with my horses and was for some years one of the representatives of the Swedish National Team. Competing made me discover the essentiality of working hard for reaching your goals. I feel that many of these things I developed trough competing I now use as an advantage at school.

I have always believed that an international perspective is very important in any economistâs education. Not only is it important to learn about the economic situation of the world, it is also important to learn about, and from, different cultures. I know for certain that this has helped me, both academically and personally. I feel that my international experience has shown me how to respect other cultures and has also given me a genuine interest in other parts of the world.

As a curious citizen of the international world, I love to travel and to experience new parts of the world. As a result of this, I have participated in several projects with an international connection during my time at the university. During the last term, I participated as a âStudent Buddyâ for the exchange students at the ZZZ. As a Student Buddy, I got the chance to show the exchange students [the town where I study], the Swedish people and our culture. This has both given me a change to get to know people from foreign countries and to learn more about their interesting home destinations. I was also selected to represent my university at the International Week in St. Gallen, Switzerland. I have realized that the international perspective is something very important to me, something I value having in my life.

Besides studying I also enjoy working with my own company. I learn a great deal about the world of companies; how to start and run a business, selling a product and the contact with the customer. This company gives me the change to do something I genuinely enjoy and it really puts my education in an excellent spot. Through my company I also get numerous international contacts. I have for instance visited Hong Kong and China several times through my company, visiting fairs and meeting clients. My hopes are to expand my business to new horizons and I thus see it as a great opportunity to get to know the Canadian market at an early stage.

I have always been interested in languages and I therefore chose to study several languages in upper secondary school. Besides English, I also studied German and French. Languages are, in my opinion, very important in several aspects. Not only is it essential in social situations, but it is also of great importance as an entrepreneur when it comes to communicating with clients and potential customers in order to understand their customs and their needs. I consequently see YYY and *** as a great opportunity for me to improve my language abilities. Apart from English, I will also be able to improve my French, something that I look forward to with great interest.

Canada would be an excellent choice for me, both for my academic career and for my future business plans. YYY is known to be one of the best business universities in the world and it has always been a goal for me to study at an internationally acclaimed university. I think of this opportunity as a privilege, and a way to improve as a person. I have high ambitions for my future and international contacts are a part of that future. I feel that YYY can give me the best education in my field with high skilled professors and students in an international environment that motivates me.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Jessie

Thanks in advance!

Dear Sir,

I am writing you this letter to apply for the Master's Degree program in ICT in Business at the University of Leiden.

Before I start I would like to begin with a brief introduction of myself. My name is *** ***, Iâm 22 years old and currently live in ***. I was born in *** but I have been living in the Netherlands for almost 16 years of my life now. I recently graduated in ICT in Business in September 2006 from the University of INHolland in The Hague.

During the last four years at INHolland my studies mainly focused on bridging a gap between the business and ICT. Successful ICT implementation is becoming more and more crucial for a companies performance. The role of the manager is changing. To implement a successful ICT solution a manager must not only have knowledge of the business side, but also be able to communicate the business needs to ICT language. Last year, while I was writing my thesis, I had the opportunity of being a researcher with the main focus on usability research. I got to explore first-hand experience of the usability issues of todayâs Content Management Systems. I have developed a passion for research, especially in bridging the gaps between the business and ICT.

During this period I also got acquainted with several students from the University of Leiden who were also working on their thesis. Here I met with *** ***, a foreign student from China who was finishing his Masterâs Degree in ICT in Business. To assist my academic planning I seized the opportunity to speak with these studentâs from Leiden University, and was able to get answers from a studentâs point of view.

I have learned that University of Leiden is the oldest and one of the best universities, with students from different backgrounds, in the Netherlands. Globalization is one of the most important issues of the day. The Leiden University can provide me a good base to pursue an international career by working with students from different backgrounds.

I was the first student from INHolland University in The Hague to graduate in ICT in Business. I always knew that my ambition was to continue my academic planning and finish my Masterâs Degree. Having researched and spoken to students Iâm very excited by my decision to continue my education. With a solid foundation in academic theory on ICT in Business through the Masterâs Degree program in ICT in Business at University of Leiden, I am confident that I will have the skills and knowledge to pursue my career as a manager with both ICT and Business know how.

Yours Sincerely,

***

Hello, sorry we missed you last time round

Mind your spellings, there are lots of daft errors and typos in this and your message. It's rather lazy of you to leave these for us to pick up, as they are clearly not caused by any spelling difficulty, just carelessness. I've corrected some but have left the rest for you to find and sort out, and just concentrated on the grammar from para 4.

Dear Sir or Madam,

    Herewith I would like to submit my application for the ***** study scholarship.

    In April 2006 I graduated with a Biology BSC (?) from the University of "*******". Altough the curriculum was broad, the work on my diploma thesis concentrated on my interest in molecular and cell biology with a human focus. This work gave me an opportunity to learn and apply basic moelcular biology techniques: PCR based methods, isolation of DNA/RNA and more sophisticated techniques such as cell culture and silencing (are you sure this is the right word?) of RNA. My diploma work was evaluated with the higest grade.

   Away from the university curricula I worked voluntarily as research assistant on a molecular diagnostic project on the detection of ***, which included more than 6.000 swabs and biopsies. I presented this work at the International Medical Scientific Student Congress organized by *******.

    I would like to continue my studies in this area and receive MSc and PhD degrees. Hoever, altough our **** society makes efforts to improve the quality of univeristy education, the studies in which I am interested are stil to come in the future . Continuing my education in my home country would be nonstimulative and dificult. The lack of sophisticated laboratory instruments would prevent the exploration of any advanced theories. Besides, studenta are found to repeat thesis in areas that have already been explored.

    Given my interest and experience in the field of biomolecular science, I am eager to deepen my knowledge and specialize in cell and molecular biology. I find it very interesting to work on projects which may lead to curring diseases with a genetic background. (Programs of my choice are preparing these ideas by building up basic knowledgem training the reasoning, educating the aspiratns to resolve scientific problems. This sentence is too garbled for me to follow)

    Financing the studies and living costs should also be envisaged. I finished my graduate studies with the financial help of my parents, but my family cannot support my further education. In this sence, **** scholarship would be of invaluable help to broaden my scientific knowledge. Studying in ***** will be an exellent start to fulfilling my dreams to work in a research center and become a scientist.

    The sponsorship and encouragement of education and sciences are in my opinion the only resonable way into the future. In **** there is a strong will amoung older and younger people to change society by the example of the western world, but there are still persistent habits from the past, which slow the inevitable transiton process. I am comvinced that the only tranquil way of transition and progress, is to educate the future leaders pf scientific nd political life by practical example. Only quality education can develop our country.

    Being convinced that education is future, I am applying for ******* scholarship, in order to be able to continue my studies and pursue a MSc degree. In case you have questions, I would be happy to furnish you with any additional information regarding my certificates (translations) and degree.

    Thank you for kindly perusing trough my application. I looki forward to your positive pesponse.

    Yours sincerely, *******

Motivation letter for exchange program.

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:04:49 GMT

Hello,

I need to write a CV and a motivation letter to get a scholarship for an exchange program.
Any comments on the spelling would be nice. If there are big faux-pas in the content, please mention it as well.

Thanks in advance.

Dear sir/ Madam

My name is X Y. With this letter, I would like to introduce my candidacy for the EU/US International Exchange Program at the Faculty of âA B at U V University for the term fall 2006.

Iâm a student X in Belgium.

Studying abroad is a big challenge because you need to be independent and adapt to a new environment. You need to adapt to a different language, a different culture, different peopleâ¦ It will be interesting to learn in a different language than my mother tongue. It is a unique opportunity to polish my English. This is I challenge I would love to take on. This experience of adapting to new environments will be of big interest later in my life when I come on the working market.

In the future Iâd rather see myself developing new products and applications for a company than doing fundamental research. That is the main reason I chose an engineering direction. Iâm a problem-solver that never refuses a challenge; I have always had a creative approach towards problems. Instead of learning things by heart and solving the problems on a conventional way, I try to understand the mechanism behind events and solve the problems on a creative way by using all the knowledge interdisciplinary.

I was instantly intrigued by the possibility to study at X Y University not only because of its fame in the field of agriculture and genetic manipulation, but also because the exchange program offers me the study program that would match my profile and would give me the opportunity to get an practical introduction to the work in this domain. The Belgian school system is sometimes too much based on theory and students are guided through the education process. Whereas the American Universities offer the students the possibility to develop themselves more as an independent individual and the possibility to pursue a career of their own personal interest. By offering the possibility to put your own packet of theory courses together which are accompanied by practical exercises that have to be made individually and stimulate independent working. The emphasis is more on independent working and tackling problems on your own way.

I would like to take some courses to deepen my knowledge in the field of genetics and biotechnology. It will be interesting to see different perspectives on certain subjects. Genetic manipulation is Europe is quite unpopular and is almost completely forbidden in the European Union. In The United States at the other hand, genetic manipulation is developing at a fast pace. Especially at X Y University, which is famous for the manipulation and breeding of agricultural crops. There is no doubt that I will be able to learn a lot from the experience that is present in X Y University.

The possibility to do research in a specific field of interest only stimulated my motivation to go study at your university. This research will be a possibility to combine all the knowledge I have gathered throughout the last 3 years studying bio-engineering and apply it on a creative way to solve problems. Being creative with knowledge and creating something new is what I want to do. Iâm sure that this practical experience will be off big interest when I have to make my thesis later.

When I heard about the possibility to go study at X Y University I knew I had to take this opportunity. This is a once in a lifetime chance someone should take with both hands. It is only in your study time that you are offered chances to go study in the United States. Not going would be a missed chance I could regret the rest of my life. I hope I can experience this unique opportunity to study at your university next year.

Yours sincerely,

Joachim De Schrijver

Hi everybody,

I want to apply to an intership which is funded by a German organisation and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me correct grammar and spelling mistakes. Of course, suggestions regarding weaknesses in the content are also welcome. Thanks in advance for your help.
Yours, livivng_abroad

Dear Mrs....,

With the intention of working in the international cooperation I have graduated in medicine at the XY University. On my search for junior positions in this area the XY-Program was brought to my attention. I was instantly intrigued by the program not only because of its preparation in the subject matter, but also because the internships at the XY would match my profile and would give me the opportunity to get an practical introduction to the work in this domain.

âXYâ is of particular interest to me, since the project-oriented approach by the XY and interdisciplinary environment would enable me to combine my professional background with my human rights work as a volunteer for amnesty international.

I have worked as a student assistant in the Institute of Medical Informatics, being responsible for a database and literature research. In the internship mentioned above as well as in the one about âXYâ I l can leverage my knowledge acquired there.

During several stays in XY I have gotten to know the âYXâ, a foundation with social and public health activities. They also have projects in the area of chronic disease prevention, so that I could gather experiences there when I participated in assignments with them in the countryside. I could also gain insight in the work of their ambulatory clinic

In March I will attend the four weeks course âXYâ in XY organized by the XY. This training will not only be about planning and management of humanitarian assistance, but also about law, ethics and human rights as well as health. I am especially looking forward to work on these topics in an interdisciplinary team with participants from all over the world.

I am fluent in English since I have spent time in the USA, professionally as well as privately, on several occasions. The last two years I have lived in the French speaking part of Switzerland, thus I am fluent in French as well. My Spanish is also very good, since I have completed several clerkships in YX.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Can you help me revise my letter of motivation

Poppycock, Anon.

Your spelling suggests that you write British English; in which case:

"Yours sincerely" ends a letter that begins "Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms So-and-so".

"Yours faithfully" ends a letter that begins "Dear sir/madam".

Note the capitalisation.
