Please check my letter of purpose

Dear ...............,

I am writing this letter to apply in the Fellowship Program at one of the "............." Research partners to earn a Master degree. I had graduated in January 2010 from "..............."University with Bachelor of Science degree in Physics as a major specialization and in Mathematics as a minor specialization with a GPA of " ........".

This Fellowship program will help me a lot to continue my study and to keep up to date with my field. It will help me to join in related researches are being done in my country. Furthermore, my future plan is to work in the new manufactures or companies that use the new physics technology in their industries and in their researches which related to my field of specialization. Therefore, this fellowship program will open to me the opportunities to continuo my studies and to work in the companies suitable to my studies such as your company. Since I had visited your company last year, I decided to apply in your programs because I am interested in working and researching in the renewable energies projects such as the solar energy.

My academic life in the university was full of knowledge and hard challenges which had refined my personality and my skills to be more confident in challenging the difficulties of learning new subjects of two fields every semester, Physics and Mathematics.

I always have the desire to learn and study the new subjects and new technologies in science. Therefore, I am always ready to take any chances that will help me to increase my knowledge. In the college life, I was able to combine between studying and participating in the activities such as I was a member in the physics club for two years and I had participated in the physics day two times. The first time was in 2007 in the competition of special physics projects and my project was about "Particles and Antiparticles" and I was the first winner. The second time was in 2008 as a program presenter for the event. Furthermore, I had attended CERN-UAEU Workshop in 2007, which had opened my mind to new researches in the physics.

In the final year of my college life, we had to do two important things before graduating that will shows how far we reached in our studies and our skills in creating, innovative, managing, ability of teamwork and other skills. The first thing was the graduating project. I and my group decided to choose "Genetic Algorithms
for modeling and optimization" to be our subject. By working for two months, we have succeeded in understanding the subject, writing our report, apply it as a computer program and presented to our instructors. The second thing was choosing a company to work with in two months and I had chosen The Forensic Evidence Department. I had trained in three sections of the department: Questioned documents section, fire investigation section and tool mark and fire arm examination section. I have learned a lot of significant skills in this department such as comparison, imagination, observation, examination and measuring. Furthermore, I have practiced in using many devices such as UV spectrum device and VSC device (Video Spectral Comparator). In addition, we have checked some old cases to learn how the reports are written. Training in this department has taught me to be always creative in my work, to be a good communication person and to respect the time.

My goal is to be a very important member of my community by continuo my studies and working hard to create a developed society. I believe that I have the confidence in myself to strive for the furthest goal. I always see myself in the leader position in different fields such as when I was working with groups in the college or in my social life because I have the skills of managing and organizing, interested to learn from the other members of the group and I have the courage to experience everything new and strange.

In the end I would like to say learning is a continuous process. It is not dependent on our age, but it is how we perceive ourselves to learn and increase our knowledge; consequently to become a successful and respected member of our community.

I look forward to have this experience and to show my ability to successful in the Master degree.



Yours faithfully,

...................

I'm sorry, I started correcting this for you are realised that this Fellowship Program is with a company rather than an university. I believe that you might want to rewrite this letter putting more 'you factor' in beginning. (If i was HR/boss I might stop reading as It seems to be about you rather than what you bring to my company - I'm sure that's later down but I would have stopped reading by then).

  • I got half way through the second paragraph before I knew this.
  • As this is my belief, I stopped checking it as if you follow my advice it will be rewritten and posted again.

Hi Dave Phillips,

I forgot to tell you that they put some conditions to write the letter, please check if I mention them correctly

-----------------------------------------

The statement should describe:

  • how you think about the world and your professional objectives
  • the issues or problems you want to address during your studies at the Masdar I
