motivation letter

0Hello, 02br
02br
00 I'm trying to apply to a famouse institution to student exchange (1 smester) and to write a motivation letter. I have never written any letter like this before, in no language. I would appreciate it a lot if you could tell me your opinion about what I wrote, wether on the grammer side or generally what should be in such letters. 02br
02br
00Here goes: 02br
02br
00Dear Sir or Madam, 02br
02br
00Greetings, 02br
02br
00My name is Keren W.. I'm currently a sophomore within the Industrial Design department at the Y in Y country.02br

01span00I am writing to apply for the students exchange program in the 02span00X, which appealed to me since I started researching for exchange programs. Visiting the X’s site, I have learnt that is it known for its relationship with real companies and industries which gives the student an opportunity at experimenting real life projects. Coming from Y country, which is still a young country with a new heritage of visual communication, it is very important for me to visit and study in a place which is just the opposite – a place with a rich history of visual culture of art and design. Considering that, 010200 was immediately my first choice. Since my internship is in design, [X city] would be the obvious choice for a place to study in 010200, being so famous for its design culture. My aim to learn in a prestigious academic institute in my internship area drew me into the X. Researching your web site I’ve found about the broad specializations in design-related topics, covering helpful and important fields of understanding the culture and society under which the design process is taking place. 02br
02br
00I have also read information about the university's master degree programs (that are a direct continues of the bachelors programs). I am interested in studying a masters degree to profound my knowledge and therefore would love to explore this program in the X. 02br
02br
00Exploring details about the university’s Erasmus program, I know that there are many talented people from around the world who study and create in an open multicultural atmosphere. Being a part of it would be a great honor for me and I believe I can contribute my small share of knowledge and cultural experience. 02br
02br
01span00I would be delighted in being a part of the university's activities of the fall semester of 200802span01span00. 02span02br

00Sincerely, 02br
