Cover letter for Ph.D. application

Dear all,
First, I would like to thank for the possibility of this forum. It´s a great help for people who English is not a native language.


I am applying for a PhD program in Business Administration. Despite it requires a statement of purpose in separate file, I still want to make a cover letter to summarize who I am, what I apply for, and all supplemental materials enclosed with the application package. Could you please review it and let me know how to improve it?

Thank you very much for your kindness,
