Letter of motivation

need some suggestion for improvement. applying for MS in fire safety engineering.

LETTER OF MOTIVATION (who you want to register for this program)

In childhood days I was always curious to see, how dry leaves and paper catch fire when exposed to sunlight passing through a magnifying glass, how water drops on a cold water bottle used to come outside, Why it appears like smoke when we breathe out in winter and how food gets spoiled with passage of time if not refrigerated. This curiosity invoked the interest of natural sciences in me and led me to choose science subjects in secondary school studies and further pre engineering as major in high school studies. Chemistry was really my cup of tea as I excelled in it like none other. My dream of having career in the field of engineering, deep interest and good grades in the subject of chemistry throughout my academics led me to choose Chemical Engineering as undergraduate course.

I have now a firm grip on the subjects like Chemical Reaction Engineering, Fuels & combustion, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Mass Transfer, Thermodynamics, and Transport Phenomena etc. These courses have introduced me to various theoretical concepts and methods that are widely used in chemical industry. My final year project was “Process Design for Production of Gasoline by Platforming of Naphtha” which is a vital refinery process for producing high octane gasoline blend. Another study project on which I worked during undergraduate studies was “Pre-combustion CO2 Capture from Biogas”. This was my first foray into research work. Working on these research projects was a great experience and it improved my research capability and design study knowledge. My interest grew stronger as I learned more about them. I had the opportunity to study numerous articles and reports on these processes, and knowledge I gained was invaluable.


The internship in XYZ Ltd was a great learning experience for me when I had been through practical plant environment and learned about the process of manufacturing bottle and film grade resin, its further solid state polymerization and different plant utilities. I also participated in fire safety exercises and lectures. This program provided me the opportunity to link my theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

Currently I have been working for XYZ since DDMMYYYY as Health Safety & Environment (HSE) Executive, carrying out day to day operations of HSE department and contribute to the application of effective Health, Safety and Environmental management by providing technical support. As fire safety is a major area under HSE, I have been involved in different activities related to fire safety i.e employee training and awareness, risk assessment and take preventive action, incident investigation and root cause analysis, ensure availability and operability of FFEs etc.

Now I would like to explain why I am interested in this program. Statistics show that fire incidents kill around 16,500 people and leave 164,000 injured or disabled every year in Pakistan. A very shocking fire incident happened in a garment factory in Baldia town in 2012 when more than 250 were killed by the fire. This happened due to negligence of the management, non-availability of arrangements to tackle fire, insufficient exits & ventilation, and lack of proper staff training. Above mentioned are the most common reasons behind the fire incidents. I am happy to know that your institution is providing postgraduate program in this vital area, which is often neglected in developing countries like Pakistan. Being an important field which is critical in modern life, I certainly feel that I should pursue my postgraduate studies in Fire Safety Engineering which would satisfy my interests and accelerate my career progression.

At the end I would like to point out that I am determined to make most out of this program. I believe that being a student in your institution would not only empower my career development, but would give me the framework to utilize my full potentials and I would benefit from the numerous challenging career opportunities.

Once again I am grateful for considering my application and look forward to a favorable reply.

Sincerely,

ABC

teechrIn my childhood days,
This is awkward. It would be simpler as: In my childhood, or, When I was a child.

thank you very much. can you comment on the content of the letter. as they asked "why do you want to register for this program (MS fire safety engineering)"

first two paragraphs explains academic progression, two next on experience and last three are focused on answer to the question.

is that a satisfactory format / content?
