I am XXX XXX(name) and writing this letter to request for admission to your University. To introduce myself, I was born in XX (country), (XXX) town in Jan.27, 1985. My family left to XXX (town) few years after my birth. I finished my primary school in XXX( town) . Due to absence of junior secondary and high school in (XXX) town, I moved to (XXX) town where I finished my High school.


I followed my entire junior secondary and high school in English. Since my primary school till I finished my high school I maintained good results and I stayed consistent academically and earned good grades in XXX (country) school leaving certificate exam which could enable me to join university.


My parents gave all they had for my academic success and we viewed school as springboard to good career. I was ambitious and determined to pursue academic achievements. But before the fulfilment of my vision I had to leave the country owing to war of 1998-2000 in the region, I could not join the university.


Now I am naturalized citizen and looking forward to accomplishment of the vision that I had and believing and hoping to join University of Utrecht. In order to become someone in this organized society, I know the importance of improved communication skills. Being a successful communication manager is the motivation my study. Besides, I am open to new ideas, alternative thinking and have passion to communication.


I believe this programme will clear my path and will become a springboard to step towards my goal. I will work hard and surelyfinish my bachelor degree with agood result if I can get this opportunity. Later on, I plan to continue my masters degree in the same field. I am highly aware of the superb reputation of your school and I hope you will give me the privilege of admission to your institution.
