Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing this motivation letter to support my entrance application for Business Foundation Program and provide further background information.
“don't only practice your art,but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can rise men to the divine”said Luwdwing Van Beethoven. These lines spoken by a genius enlightened me and gave me motivation to run after my goals regardless of how difficult is to reach them. My need of achievement has been with me ever since high school; wether in a foot ball match whereI’m willing to sacrifice my body and energy to win, or an adventurous trip where danger exists. My need for achievement pushes me to succeed.
Since I was fifteen years old, my father used to travel on a weekly basis; My family has general contracting company in Germany,Qatar,and Algeria. Called L.E.N.E.K.E.R GmbH. As I got older, I started traveling with him to observe and try to comprehend the components of business. Every since my initial visits to his work place, my passion for finance and business has grown stronger. I admire the seriousness and hard work that business material requires and I am determined to understand the aspects of business and how things work.
In September 2011 by the reason of war in my country and other unseen circumstances I had to move to Qatar alone; I lived in a studio apartment and I had to manage everything in my life starting from how to use my money wisely to establishing a map for my studies. After I was graduated from high school, I decided to attend a foundation year focuses on English skills at Qatar Foundation; I had various subjects such as reading, writing and computer skills; and I used to work for my institution. Of course I moved to dorms, that part of my life was a different amazing experience were I had to meet and live with international students; when I lived with students from different countries I learned a lot.
However, after I finished my foundation year, I picked Frankfurt,Germany to complete my career and work at my father’s company. Now I am learning Deutsch as a fourth language and I am having a business course to learn as much as I can about the major I want to study.
At the end I decided that I should pursue education at the European University to satisfy my need of achievement, European University is one of the most prestigious universities of the world, and a degree from such a well-respected university would definitely get me to the place I want to be. As Andrew Carnegie said: “My heart is in the work”. I will spare no effort in doing my best to achieve success in my studies at the European University, thus paving the way for me to follow my passion and run the family business. Am confident my skills and experience will support my application and demonstrate that I am enthusiastic, disciplined and hardworking with a keen interest in the development in the business world.
Thank you for considering my application.
