To whom it may concern,


I am a geology student at university of (........). I would like to change my degree plan from geology to computer science. I know it’s a big change but after finishing my first year in university I know that I cannot continue in this area. I worked really hard in my first year and I got high marks but that was just because I thought maybe with time I will start enjoying it, but unfortunately I’m still not interested in it at all. I don’t think I will be able to do the same thing next year.


On the other hand I think computer science is really interesting and I always read about it in my free time. I’m sure that I will expand my knowledge in this area even beyond university requirement. I’m interested in many aspects of computer science and IT security is one them.


I don’t think I can give you my best as a geologist because geology is not for me. Please consider my request as I’m sure it will be for the best.




Yours faithfully,
(.........)

There are not many mistakes, but there are a few.

As you can see, it was mostly punctuation that needed attention. (You don't like using commas, do you? ;-))

Thank you.

Remember to use capitalisation and punctuation outside the main body of your letter too.
