Dear Sir, Ms or Madam,

I wish to express my interest in your double Bachelor of International Hospitality Management program, starting in March 2013 in xxx.

Born and raised in xxx, Lower Saxony, I attended the local schools until graduation.

After I passed my A-levels at the xxx Gymnasium in xxx, I wish to continue my education at a university.

Being a native speaker of German I also speak good English and French and also a bit of Spanish. Already in school it was easy for me to study foreign languages, which encouraged me over the past few years to learn a profession in which I can use this effectively.

Combined with my interest for economic cooperation between different countries, I believe that a function in hotel services can lead me to achieve my next big goal, which is my own secure and independent life.

In my earlier years of life I have often lived in a dream world, where I wished for a prosperous and luxurious life. Today I understand that you have to work very hard for it. Therefore, I am creating my life resilient and hard working.

Being a very outgoing person, I have met very many people and I have experienced their cultures and faith. I was thrilled by these impressions and found myself having a lot of fun to pass these experiences to others. I believe that it is very important to share those positive and maybe also negative experiences, in order to learn from them. The tourism industry can contribute significantly to bring the world closer together and even show the skeptics beautiful and welcoming parties of each country. I am convinced that nowadays this is very important for a bright future. I would support this position by my creativity and my self-confidence during the study and thereafter....
