Please be so kind and correct my letter of Motivation

0 Hi, 02br
02br
00I´m writing a "Letter of Motivation" for a Study Programm. Please be so kind and help me to find my mistakes, grammar errors and somehow "D-English" expressions. 02br
00Sorry for BLOCKING out the school names, but privacy is nice to have 05002br
02br
00Thanks a lot from Germany 02br

00--------------------------- 02br
02br
00Dear Sir or Madam, 02br
02br
00At first I would like to thank for the interesting Open and Buddy Days. They have gave me a unique insight into UNIVERSITY2 and convinced me to choose Hospitality Management in UNIVERSITY2 . 02br
02br
00Consequentially I would like to apply for admission to Hospitality Management in September 2000. 02br
02br
00I did a 3-year-apprenticeship as a chef in PLACE1 and Place2 till April 2000. In the first part of my apprenticeship we served 800 plates a day with several different types of diets for medical and health reasons whereas at Orangerie we served 30 plates a day with a focus on gourmets. Both parts gave me a broad view into hospitality. 02br
02br
00Afterwards I succeed in serving my 10 months military service at PLACE3. 02br
00I worked there as a `Head of Ordonnanz` and chef. Leading a team of up to 20 Ordonnanzen (staff) I was in charge of organising celebrations and events with up to 100 guests. There I was awarded for exceptional work in June 2000. 02br
02br
00Thereafter I went to SCHOOL where I obtained my general qualification for university entrance in June 2000. 02br
02br
00When I started studying business economics at UNIVERSITY1 I wanted a good economical background for a leading position in the Hospitality Industry. But I realized that their theoretical approach doesn’t fit my needs. 02br
02br
00I’ve searched for a mixture of Theory and Praxis approach which equips me with the knowledge needed for Hospitality Management. I found it in your Study programme. 02br
02br
00I’ve chosen Hospitality Management for the challenging and prospering approach, but furthermore for the working ambience in Hospitality. I am into this unique mixture of passion, stress and perfectionism dedicated to improve our customer’s satisfaction. Their smile makes this branch so unique, their pleasure is my motivation. 02br
02br
00I’m looking forward to our interview on July 10th, 02br
02br
00Yours faithfully, 02br
02br
