Letter of Motivation
To whom it may concern,

My interest in business and finance emerged at secondary school when I met a professor of business from Aleppo University. I discussed many aspects of business and economics with him and from that moment I was hooked. Upon leaving secondary school, I was admitted into the Faculty of Economics \ Business administration department at Aleppo University. I successfully completed my studies and graduated in 2006.

My professional journey started fourteen years ago in 2001. At first I was working part-time while completing my studies. My professional experience is diverse, including different sectors such as: Banking, Marketing, Sales, and private companies.
My current position is Senior Relationship Officer \ Credit Analyst at (Bank Bemo Saudi Franci S.A.) in Syria. Even though I have gained valuable insight and skills over the years, I am still working towards furthering my education and professional capacity.

I am very interested in developing my professional career in business, which is difficult to do in Syria given the current situation. This masters program in NAME THE PROGRAM would help me to achieve both my professional and personal development goals. I have chosen NAME THE UNIVERSITY as I prefer the module system of study, its wide range of courses and the flexibility it offers me as a student to tailor my study to my needs.

The NAME THE PROGRAM program covers topics such as Finance, Economics, Marketing, and Communications. Improving my ability in these areas, as well as the numerous traineeships and case assignments I would take part in during this program would increase my ability to analyze and solve practical problems.

Furthermore, NAME THE university is known for its international environment. Looking at my future, I understand that a significant part of developing and adapting within today’s business world is to understand the sector at an international level as well as various regional and local levels. At NAME THE UNIVERSITY I would learn how to communicate with people from different backgrounds, across cultural and linguistic differences. These skills are essential not only in the workplace, but for all human interactions.

Finally, this program will help me to develop myself as a team player and cultivate leadership skills within me. I would learn to be responsible not only for myself, but also for the whole team, which I believe is essential for a business manager.

Having witnessed first-hand one of the most devastating wars in modern history and enduring the conflict and its impact on our society in Syria has altered me significantly. My aspirations have changed over these past four years, as well as my understanding of how such a conflict impacts on financial and business institutions, and on the economic stability of a region. Many people liken Syria today to Germany after WWII in terms of the scale of destruction and the effects on the society as a whole. My personal and professional interest lies in how Germany recovered its stature locally and internationally, becoming once again one of the world leaders in governance, economic stability and diplomacy. As a Syrian, I feel there is much to be learned from the German experience.

Although I understand that studying abroad is going to be a challenging step in my life, I also believe I can withstand any problems which may arise and make the most of the knowledge and experience gained through this study program. Therefore, I hope to contribute my talents and efforts to your university and become a worthy member of the team.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and time.

Yours faithfully,

Salem Georges

" I find myself slightly uncomfortable with your finding the sliver lining of increased understanding in the dark clouds of the current Syrian conflict and German military history, but that's not the real problem. There's a saying in English, "Do not mention the rope in the house of the hanged man," meaning that some subjects are too uncomfortable to bring up with certain audiences. I expect that few Germans would appreciate your bringing up the devastation of World War II, and trust me, few people who understand European history would liken Syria's experience to Germany's in anything but the grim statistics of war.

  • I think you're correct that there are many lessons to be learned from the German experience, starting with one that you'd think wouldn't actually need stating -- don't exterminate your minority citizens.
  • I trust that you can see the wisdom of leaving this subject undiscussed.

This is a fairly good letter, but I urge you to delete the paragraph beginning "Having witnessed." I find myself slightly uncomfortable with your finding the sliver lining of increased understanding in the dark clouds of the current Syrian conflict and German military history, but that's not the real problem. There's a saying in English, "Do not mention the rope in the house of the hanged man,"
