Could you do me favour and check whether this letter (grammar and content) is okay. If not don`t hesitate to imrpove it. Very Happy
Thanx very much in advance.

Dear Mrs. xxx and Mr. xxx

my name is Babak xxx and I am a graduated German student of 24 years. I have studied in Berlin at the "Fachhoschschule für Technik und Wirtschaft - University of Appled Sciences".I have my first degree. It is the "Bachelor of Science".

I am quiete interested in the Master Programm (Msc Management) you offer. I will start a trip to Scotland and Egland to meet some Master co-ordinators to get some valuable information. I will stay from 1st February to 14th February in Scotland. I would appreciate a meetng with you during this time.

I suggest an appointment for the 4th February at 13 pm. If this date suits you, I will look forward to see you. Otherwise could you please propose an alternative date.

Thanking you in advance,
yours sincerely, Babak xxx.
Babak,

I think this letter needs restructuring. I wouldn't start with your name- I can get that from the bottom of the page. Start with the reason for the letter= get straight to the point.

I'd start with expressing an interest in the Master's Programme, and I wouldn't say 'quite'intyerested- this doesn't sound vfery interested. The first paragraph should contain that information, and nothing esles. The second should give more info- that you are a graduate. Then tell them about your availability and ask them if it would be posiible to arrange a meeting, thank them and close.
