Hi, Phoster. Welcome to the Forum. If you post it we will try to take a look at it. However, it often takes several drafts to reach the final version of a motivation letter. Getting it all done by Thursday may be a challenge.

Dear all,

I have taken sometime to ready several examples of motivation letters here and I took the liberty of using some parts of them, based on your reviews. I hope that this isn`t an issue.
Well, as you may see, I like to write a lot, because I graduated on Social Sciences, so, could you please help me writing a more focused motivational letter?

At last, I have the first draft of the letter, so please, check it below. I`m looking forward to hearing your comments and remarks on it.

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards,

Phoster

Dear Sirs, Madams

I am interested to apply for a Master`s Degree Program in XYZ starting in 2014. I graduated in 2006, from the University of ABC in CDF and hold a Bachelors degree in Social Sciences. I have also received a Master’s Degree in Business Administration in 2012 from the same University. Through these studies I became fascinated with all kinds of social interactions.

Social interactions are interesting to study because they allow us to have a deeper understanding of human needs and aspirations. With the globalization era, new forms of social interactions appeared, enhanced by the use of internet. In this context, social media plays a very important role in strengthen social interactions all around the globe and is regarded as being representative of the affective, social and professional interactions of groups of people with similar interests and that collectively become sharers of values, ideas and common goals.

Throughout the uprising number of social media, citizens have discovered an open-space to express their ideas, demands, complain and exchange information regarding several topics, including politics. Thus, I am interested in using my market research experience to study social media in order to capture latent demands to develop politic policies to improve citizens’ life. This study appears in a moment of several riots in Brazil and may be used to better understanding population needs. This learning can also be used in other countries around the globe, such as Germany.

My final course conclusion text project was based on a research conducted using social media. The project focused on the influence of the social media in the marketing campaigns of fast moving consumer goods companies. With this research was verified that social media is emerging as an open-space of social interactions and consumers are becoming more aware of their needs and aspirations, hence, a more conscious type of consumer has arisen. This consumer is also political engaged and well-informed. This presents a challenge for governments who have to deal with a more critical population. As such, understanding the needs of the population through the study of social media constitutes as a favorable field for analysis.

My decision to pursue graduate studies in German is underscored by my desire to be a part of the full-time study programme and to gather knowledge of Public Service Quality via E-Government. The international and interdisciplinary nature of the programme focuses on Good Governance in the 21^st century. Foundational courses, such as economics, statistics, public management, governance and policy processes make up of the curriculum. The programme has also a practice-oriented approach that prepares students for their future careers. I believe that a Master’s degree will provide a milestone in my career along with invaluable experiences that will allow me to become a successful, innovative professional and assist in accomplishing my goals

With a solid foundation in academic theory on sociology, top grades at the Business Administration Master`s course and with my background on market research gained through 6 years of experience in working in International and National companies, I am confident that I will have the skills, knowledge and contacts that will enable me, as sociologist and market researcher, to deal with the complex issues of the social and political conditions in my country. Ten years from now, I envisage myself taking up a career either in international institutions or in federal and local government.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Sincerely yours,

Paul Hoster
