Dear admission officers.

I desire to apply for the International business administration program at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, for the fall term 2008. In the following letter I would like to present my reasons for choosing your university and to provide a general background about me.

First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dennis and I was born in Russia in the city of Vladimir. I attended to foreign languages oriented school and concentrated personally on English language since my first year. After finishing 7 years there my family moved to Israel. Here I continued my study focusing on language learning. Quickly I found that study in Hebrew which was totally new experience, wasn’t an obstacle for the adaptation in the new country. Contrary, foreign languages became my favorite subjects and already in high school brought me to decision that I would like to continue my future studies in European University with International oriented program.

After graduating from high school I served for 3 years in Israel Defense Force where I reached the rank of first sergeant. Despite the fact that I was unable to start my undergraduate studies directly after the high school, the army service was an extraordinary experience. It designed my personality, developed a various administrative and organizational skills. I was always interested in business and economics therefore during my service I deeply enriched my knowledge by following the world of economics and exchange markets along with reading related literature. All this have strengthened my final decision to study International Business Administration.

Following my research on European Universities I came to conclusion that the Erasmus University Rotterdam is the perfect match for my aims. Among several great features of this institution the most important for me is the very high standard of studies and more diverse international program. Students from all other the world attending variety of programs and able to expand their knowledge and share different cultures and opinions. This is exactly what I am looking for. In addition, Netherlands is very advanced European country with modern economics and developed markets.

Finally, I think Erasmus University Rotterdam is an excellent place to start my career. Since me being very motivated and ambitious, I think my strong points are good communication and administrating skills. I like to work in a team and to discover all the aspects of the successful teamwork.

Thank you for considering my application and your time.

Sincerely yours.
