Letter Writing

Please view and correct my letter of purpose. Quite urgent!

Hi everybody!!! I am a new guy here) Very nice place I should say)

I am applying for M.A in Political Science in Canadian University. So I've decided to post here draft of my statement of purpose, I hope you'll make some censorious remarks.))))
Here there are departments' requirements to the statement:

"A definitive statement of purpose: please specify precisely your area of interest and plans for study in the graduate program in order that the Department can determine whether or not we offer the courses/program in your area of interest/specialization. For PhD students, a secondary field of interest must also be identified."

Draft:


What issue does appear on the international agenda as often as weather forecast? In what region of the world there are so many bleeding conflicts? The answer is obvious – Middle East. Being a cornerstone of the current international politics and a cockpit of superpowers for many years this part of the world has attracted me in many respects.
As the matter of fact, All Middle Eastern political issues are in my area of interest: from Iranian nuclear program and its impact on international relations, Turks and Kurds conflict, USA and Iraq to Arab-Berber problem in the . Nevertheless my primary field of interest is . Arab-Israeli and Palestine-Israeli conflict, Israel and Iran, Israel and USA and in the international arena – all these themes are of my professional interest. There are no easy answers to many of the problems that arise between nations in the , but it will be fulfilling to work towards new solutions. I believe that a graduate degree in international relations will prepare me extremely well to pursue my professional goals. I hope to achieve a better understanding of the problems facing the region and of potential foreign policy solutions. Furthermore, taking into account my plans to get PhD, I believe that with my teaching ability I can introduce (shift) ‘Israeli Studies’ to the graduate level in your University.

Please look it through and correct where it is necessary. And one more question, Does it seem enough? I mean as far as they require "a definitive" statement should I go into details of my childhood, extracurricular activities in the field, explanation of why I have chosen the specific grad school etc. in that case?

Million thanks in advance!!!
