Motivation letter for primary shool application.<<Need yr comment urgently!

Kindly give me some comment for below ......Anybody's prompt advice will be very very appreciate as I need this on Jun 3....Apologize for my late request as I'm just new to this forum.....


We are very grateful and appreciative of you spending precious time in reading this unexpected letter of ours. The main purpose of this letter is to seek an opportunity of education in your school for my daughter, ***,

We have heard about your school’s sound reputation from many parents and know well about your school’s mission, philosophy, curriculum and facilities from your school’s Web site. l am especially impressed that your school emphasis a balanced and all-rounded development of one’s potential. I have visited your school with my daughter during last year’s Open Day and she likes the environment very much.

Our daughter is currently studying in K3 at ***. She performs well in many aspects – self care & discipline, linguistic development, creativity and emotional development. *** is an adorable girl. She has a bright and cheerful character that contributes to her good social community. She has strong curiosity and energetic to explore new things around her. Our daughter has very creative thinking and she will have much idea arise from her little brain. For example, she will introduce new game rules for card and board games.

We believe in the Multiple Intelligent theory. As such, we have arranged different nature’s interest classes for my daughter. On one hand, we wish her having a balance development. On the other hand, we hope to find out our daughter’s potential talent and develop her interest through various exposure and stimulation.

We would be appreciated if we could be given an interview (anytime) with the Principal for further clarification and we sure that the Principal could obtain a more comprehensive understanding of our daughter.

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. My general comment is that this letter is written with an extremely high level of politeness that would not be appropriate in Western culture. However, I assume that in Hong Kong this is suitable, so I have not changed it.

Dear Clive... a million thanks.

If you have time, kindly share with me the western style.

Hi again,

In Canad,a I think it would be relatively easy to get an interview in order to discuss this matter. Consequently, I'd probably remove the two paragraphs that describe your daughter. However, it sounds like, in Hong Kong, you have to write an impressive letter to obtain an interview. If that is correct, you probably need these paragraphs.

Best wishes again, Clive
