I have done a enourmus work to make this letter since I'm not good at english (I have noticed it ^^)



Dear Sir or Madam,


I clearly remember the day I discovered the XXX XXX programme, I simply said “This is perfect for me!”. I really see it as my great opportunity of an exchange experience with a solid support and the best way to continue my studies in what is for me a passion: mathematics.
Nowadays, mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, includingphysics, informatics, engineering, economics, medicine, biology and social science, as well as it is, in reference to pure mathematics, an amazing rich ground of study itself. To be honest, I feel dazzled with this universe that combines forms, ideas, creativity, abstraction and more, in a logical reasoning way that makes it universal and explainable.


Ending the second year of my degree in mathematics at the XXXXXXX XXX

XX XXXXXX XXX, I am in a crucial situation in the career in which I start to guide my studies into optional fields, that is to say, to forge the personal orientation in the subject. I have been involved in mathematics from early in my life, since I took part in Mathematical Olympiads during the six high school years. I represent my country in many international Olympiads which take place in different countries. I was awarded with honorable mentions in XXX, XXX and XXX in XXX/XXX, XXX and XXX, respectively; with bronze medals in XXX and XXX in XXX and XXX, respectively; and two times first national place in XXX at XXX and XXX. I also participate in physics Olympiads. It is may be because of those experiences that I recognize the value that the XXX XXX scholarship would have in my academic and nonacademic aspirations.


Because what I would gain with the XXX XXX scholarship includes also what I would grow as a person throughout the mobility. I am looking forward to interact with other students, share our different cultures, learn from them and vice versa. I do not want to have a limited perspective about the world, I prefer an open mind and this is what I am also searching for. I am anxious to know about the university's action in XXX, the mathematics's role and scale in the context and of course to take part for almost a year in the day after day of learning mathematics with a complete new range of professors and students who will, without doubt, enlarge the way I feel and understand the subject.


Being conscious about my career's limitations in the thematic offer here in XXX, something reasonable in my small country, in order to make the most of the scholarship, I am mainly interested in attend specific courses that are not given at my faculty. At the return to XXX, my plans are to finish the bachelor degree and then to continue with my studies in a particular area, which, why not, may be would have attracted my interest during the scholarship.


I am grateful for considering my application and I look forward to a favourable reply,Yours Faithfully,

I recently e-mailed a teacher about meeting to write a recommendation, but she seems busy. Another teacher told me she could write a recommendation, so how should I tell the other teacher that I don't need a letter of recomendation anymore? I don't want to sound rude.
Thank you! ]]> Letter Writing eaae http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/letter-writing/108451-turning-down-recommendation.html http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/letter-writing/108332-writing-persuasive-letter-university-dean.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:52:26 GMT Hey,

I'm applying for an entrance in a top university in New Zealand but I have a problem:

- I'm currently studying in polytechnic institute but want to move to university and graduate from there. Their current criteria for considering applications from polytechnics is that they want good grades. I don't have "good" grades but I'm still doing OK. They want a 'B' average and I'm about 'C' average. Therefore, I need to write them a letter to ask them to seriously consider my application despite the grades. My main argumentative points are:

- I have some work experience in the field which is rare in students.
- I haven't been serious about studies in past because I was still confused on what I wanted to do. Now, I'm dead certain that this is what I want to do and I'm going for it. My last semester grades were the best so far and I'm trying to continue the trend this semester.
- My worst grades have come when I had to work 30+ hours along with full time study.
- I have extra-curricular hobbies that help me develop as a person.
- I just know I can cut it at that university level. I'm pretty determined. 95% of applicants won't go as far as writing a letter to the dean.

I know my application is a a long shot and odds are stacked heavily against me but I still want to give it a try.

So if you guys could help me create a persuasive letter to the dean, it would be great. My aim is to gain an admission straightaway. If not then at least get an interview with the dean so I can push my case further.

I have no experience/knowledge in writing letters so your help would be invaluable. If someone could provide me with a skeleton that would me awesome

Dear Sir,
I´m writing you to enquire about studying on your University and I am writing to attend for the Bachelor Degree Program in Arts, in which I am particularly interested.

I have read University internet page and I cannot find some specific information which I am interested too.
How much your courses costs?
I would like to ask about accommodation too. Is there any campus I can live in or will I have to get my own private flat?
And how good my english should be? I studied english on grammar school for 4 years
Do I have to visit some language courses in the summer or learn something special?
I would like to ask how many people you accept in class. Will be there also entrance exam?

I would greatly appreciate it if you can send that information to me soon.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
I am looking forward to hearing form you in the near future.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was interested to see an internship proposal at the Career section for “Machine learning of hotel customer behaviour”, and would like to learn more about this opportunity.

I recently graduated with honors from National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”. My subject area covered neural networks, automation and general modelling.
As an engineering student I worked on a program development, analysis of project concepts, building models or algorithms and programming according to them in team and alone.

Having read key information about Amadeus on the website I feel that some of my skills and knowledge would be at use in your company.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss the opening with you in person.

Sincerely,
Me)

Also I'm not sure about phrasal verbs which I used here, like keep up/catch up and some other things..


Here it is:
Hello John, how it’s going?
I’m writing to you because you’ve asked me to help you with studying English. I appreciate you desire to study this language, and I’m going to give you some pieces of advice.
First of all, you’ve said that you don’t have time for extra lessons or regular study sessions. In case of it I’d suggest you to read books and magazines in English while you’re going to work. In that way you might keep up your level of vocabulary and you won’t forget any words which you’ve already learnt.
Secondly, you might write letters or emails in English as well, because it can help you to activate your vocabulary and grammar.
Another good thing is to watch films in English, especially without subtitles. There aren’t any better ways to improve your listening skills. Besides, you will catch up some slang expressions. And it’s not as dull as listening to books’ CDs.
If you only had more free time, it would be a good idea to take private lessons. Your teacher could has corrected your mistakes in letters or emails and so on… you see what I mean.
You know, there are a lot of ways to study English and improve your skills, like practice with a friend, travel to an English-speaking country, make “flash-cards” for vocabulary, but it all depends on you. I hope these ideas will help.
Yours, Victor.
