PLEASE CHECK THIS COVER LETTER FOR ME
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Nguyen Dang Linh. I am from Vietnam, currently in 12th grade and I wish to apply for the Bachelor of Economics at the University of Queensland.
A few years ago I came across the journal Sydney yeu thuong (Beloved Sydney) written by Trung Nghia – an overseas Vietnamese student in Australia who is now a professional journalist. After reading it, I was hooked. I dreamt of being just like him one day, entering the land the Sydney Opera House, studying in an international environment, working with talented young people as well as famous professors from all over the world, and, most of all, having my future guaranteed. I have been working towards that goal ever since.
The chance to serve my country, Vietnam, is my main motivation for choosing Economics. To my mind, understanding the function of the world economy will show me the way to help Vietnam develop. I learnt from Ms Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala that ‘Nobody is going to help you or support you if you are not managing your finances well.’ If you want to end poverty, increase living standards or provide more opportunities for the young generations in a country, you have to begin with its economic issues first. I am confident that after studying in a developed country like Australia, I will be able to make positive changes in Vietnam.
What is more, I found Economics an absolutely ideal field of studies. In my opinion, it is decidedly challenging, yet exciting and also practical, exactly what I expect for my future career. The flexibility of an Economics degree is another huge advantage, allowing me to apply for a wide range of enterprises and organizations after graduation. Hopefully, by the time I complete the Bachelor’s degree, I have got a suitable job so as to be eligible for admission to the Master of Economics program. Afterwards, it will be wonderful to bring all the precious knowledge I gain in Australia to apply in Vietnam, eventually realizing my life-long ambition.
Where else can be more perfect for me to learn Economics than the University of Queensland? Not only is UQ School of Economics among the most prestigious departments in the world, but it also offers scholarships exclusively for Vietnamese students. This is like a dream come true to me. The University of Adelaide has sent me an offer of admission indeed, but I have yet to accept because the last thing I want to do is to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the University of Queensland.
Since many first years in the selective entry high school, I have tried my best: studying English, gaining high grades, doing voluntary work and even undertaking a teaching assistant position, all to prepare for my future application to Australia. I may not have many an advantage like other students in major cities such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh. My home city is small and anonymous, where learning facilities are poor and social activities are rare. Nonetheless, my motivation and endeavor to succeed can make up for that. I am a keen learner, always willing to listen and improve myself. Furthermore, I can work well under pressure. Three years ago, I passed the entrance exam to my present High School with exceptionally good results after merely 2 moths of practice, whereas most others had the whole year and even 2 months in an honors class. Once I have set a goal for myself, I will never stop until I have achieved it.
I am not just a dreamer. You can be sure that I am well-prepared for the intense competition among students in the University of Queensland.
Although I can continue talking about my abilities and achievements I believe in the proverb ‘actions speak louder than words’. If I am accepted to the University of Queensland, I will show you how far I can go, proving that you have made the right decision to choose me.
I am looking forward to your reply,
Yours sincerely,

Thank you for checking both of my Cover Letters. Do you think they are enough persuasive? I still feel something is missing and I don't make any big impression at all
There is just one thing, in this sentence I don't feel right
I may not have many an advantage like other students in major cities such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh, "and" my home city is "in fact" small...

I may not have the advantage of living in a large cosmopolitan city such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh. In fact, learning facilities are relatively poor, and social interaction opportunities are rather limited in my small hometown.

teechrTrung Nghia – an overseas Vietnamese student in Australia who is now a famous professional journalistJust a small suggestion. I think the dash mark (—) should be completely stuck to the words in either sides of itself. So the above will be: "Trung Nghia—an overseas Vietnamese student in Australia who is now a famous professional journalist
