Dear Sir or Madam,
I appreciate this opportunity to provide further background information in support of my application for entrance to the International Bachelor Econometrics and Operations Research program at the Erasmus University Rotterdam for 2012.
First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is ***, I live in *** and I am nineteen years old. I graduated grammar school in 2011. After graduation I started studying at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, the bachelor Economics and Business Economics in Dutch. This goes very well and I passed for all the exams with a GPA of 7.2. In the attachment you will find my grades, my grade for Applied Statistics 1 is 8.4 and is not shown on Osiris yet but can be found on Sin-online. I will probably obtain the full 60-ECTS of my first Bachelor year Economics this summer.
During my first year Economics and Business Economics at EUR, I spoke to many Econometrics student and I even went to a couple of Econometrics lectures. I found out that economics and mathematics is the perfect combination for me. I am very enthusiastic for mathematics and recording to my grades, 9.1 for my GSCE Mathematics B and for Mathematics 1 and 2 on the University an 8.8 and 7.6, I am talented for it. The second reason why I applied for the International Bachelor Econometrics, is because I will improve my English and my international experience. I am convinced that working and studying with international students will make me more motivated. During my Bachelor or Master I hope for a possibility to study in a foreign country and after graduation my ambition is to start a career in the UK or the US. I am aware that in a career your English skills has to be as good as your native language and I hope to accomplish that with the International Econometrics bachelor program. Unfortunately I did not pass for my English GSCE, but during my first Bachelor year Economics I improved my English, because of the English lecture. In the summer of 2012 I am going to Cambridge University for an English course to improve my English skills even more.
In conclusion I would like to say that I have made the right choice to go to the Erasmus University, I have a great time here. I would like you to thank you for reading my motivation letter and hopefully I will be elected for the International Bachelor Econometrics and Operations Research program.
Sincerely,
***

Here is some advice about writing a great motivation letter: In your letter, the first two paragraphs do not tell the reader much more information than is on your application form. They already know your name and where you are attending school now. Don't waste the reader's time with repetition.
