letter of motivation

hallo!
i would be really grateful to you if you could crosscheck my "letter". thank you...




Dear Mr and Mrs ...

I am a 5 th year medical student of ... university. When I first heard of the "research projekt" I considered this as a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in a team of researchers on an international basis.
During the first two years of my studying course I passed successfully all the preclinical subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry etc.
It is to emphasis that our preclinical lectures have been restructured to provide the students a profound knowledge of what working and thinking as a researcher is like. More than once we had the great opportunity to check out practically what we learned theoretically by our lectures and textbooks. We did PCR in biochemistry and measured the speed of nerves in neural physiology (as an example).

Having finished secondary school I worked in a workshop for disabled people for the purpose of the community service. It was my job to take care of a group of seven people overseeing their work and discussing any problem they were coming up with. During that time I also coached a group of about 30 youth in judo and was in charge of all the children of our club (roughly 70). I organized sport events like public performances and summer camps for my "kids".
Regarding this I am confident to have gained the skills necessary to work together with other people and to deal with responsibility.
But there was another experience which I made in my local sports club. Before I moved to... to start my studying coarse I was also an active member of the judo team which taught me that if the team wins or not depends on two things: the spirit of the whole team just as the performance of every single man.

What is it that makes me applying especially for your project?
I think it is just fascinating the way how our brain gains the knowledge of the extern world via all the different channels and combines every single piece of information to a complex perception. Furthermore it is an intriguing thought that a stiumulus of the extern world is transformed into a electric signal which can result in releasing of vesicles.
But by far the most interesting thing to me is the incredible dynamic of all the nerve cells constituting the brain. Their capability to intensify one synapse while weakening another contact. This being the basis for Long Term Potentiantion/Depression.

My Professor of neural physiology provided me with some literatur e.g. "prinicples of neural science"and he encouraged me to look for a dissertation on this field since there is so much we are far from understanding.
As i am keen to contribute to give at least some answers to these questions working in your laboratory would be a first step in this direction.

I am seeing forward to hearing from you.
Your sencerely
