Please help with my motivation letter

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

(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
