Motivation letter
Hello, i would like to request some help in writing my motivation letter. I have my first draft ready and i would appreciate if someone could take a look at it and give me some suggestions or corrections.... Thank you in advance!!!!
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the graduate certificate program “Professional Accounting Practice” at Seneca College starting in 2011 fall term. My career objective is to become a certified general accountant.
I graduated from a russian university in 2010 with a “Teacher of French and English” bachelor degree with honors. As a result of my hard work I earned university scholarships during all five years of studies. I participated in several poetic competitions in English and French where I took honorable places. My high grades allowed me to subscribe to two weeks language course in CIEF in Dijon, France. As a result of this language practice I was able to show high results at the DALF C1 (the Diploma of Academic French Language studies level C1). I should also admit that taking classes together with international students let me sharpen my communicative skills and taught me to be tolerant of people with different backgrounds.
The Work and Travel in USA program that I completed during my summer break shaped me into a responsible team worker in a multicultural environment. My key strengths of curiosity, intelligence and perseverance helped me in growing from a simple kitchen assistant into the manager’s right-hand. Tasks involved checking stock levels and ordering supplies, maintaining high standards of quality control and hygiene, meeting and greeting customers and organizing take-out orders. Never afraid of showing initiative, I suggested adding to the pizzeria menu our national Russian salad which I should admit turned out to be a quite good seller.
My summer work experience provided me with a better understanding of the type of career I want to pursue, which is the industry of finance and accounting. So after the end of this students program I applied for one year diploma in Financial Management that gave me basic knowledge in such areas as Economics, Financial accounting and management, Tax planning and Marketing. Completing my certification work in “Development of a business plan of an own business – Organization of a fast-food service” allowed me to sharpen my analytical skills.
I am currently working as a receptionist in one of the leading international IT-companies in Belarus. Together with regular receptionist responsibilities (like – receiving visitors, answering queries, paperwork, some secretary duties) I also accomplish duties of a purchasing assistant. While performing all these everyday tasks I develop my organizational, communicative, time management skills. What attracts me the most in my job are my duties of purchasing supplies and drawing up invoices. I enjoy working with numbers and my good understanding of math and great computer skills are of great help. Therefore, I have decided to pursue my graduate studies in accounting. Since your college provides a one year PRA program for mature students I would love to be a part of it.
I want to study at Seneca College because of your outstanding educational system and your excellent facilities. From speaking with Canadians who currently work in our belorussian company office, I am confident of my decision. Moreover, the possibility to earn level three CGA without any accounting background and the intensive format of the PRA program leave no doubt about the right choice I’ve made.
With my strong motivation, professional skills and keen interest, I am sure that I will do very well if I am accepted in the PRA program and thereby achieve my professional goal. Furthermore, my international background and interdisciplinary education will add more diversity to your program.
Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your acceptance.
Sincerely yours,

I think you have done a good job of relating unrelated previous experience to your present goals. It should be received favorably.
