attend, and become able to manipulate a script in order to act autonomously on it and provide original improvement.
I decided to pursue my career with a PhD in a foreign UE country, in order to acquire a highlevel international profile. I find working in a collaboration with three prestigious institutions like University Pierre et Marie Curie, Ecole Normale Superieur and MIT extremely challenging and as additional motivation for me. Moreover, this project would provide me the rare opportunity to join two different study fields: on one side, marine ecology, which still represent my strongest subject of interest; on the other side, statistical ecological modelling, a scientific approach which, even if difficult and not intuitive, I consider really satisfying for a science like biology, still in search of rigorous methodologies to deal with the complexity of living systems.
My academic curriculum provided me a solid knowledge of the different theoretical subjects implied in the research project: physical and chemical ocean dynamics, ecological processes, as well as marine organisms physiology are among the subjects I enjoyed and in whom I succeeded the most. My studies were characterized by great heterogeneity, but, far from being a defect, I consider it my best quality. In a project that aims to compare and integrate satellite data, virtual simulation, field and molecular data in a wide international cooperation, a person who is used to switch among different subjects and interact among different professionals could be undoubtedly of help. Finally, even if I could not say to be an expert of software programming at the moment, my master stage experienced proofed my strong motivation and tenaciousness, which allowed me to acquire autonomously new working skills, and the will to learn even more.
Given my record of good academic achievement and strong interest in your research program, I am certain that, if given the opportunity, I will enjoy working on the topics that ignite my curiosity the most. In addition to my academic qualifications, I am confident that my interdisciplinary and international background will meet your research school expectations.
Thank you for considering my application.
Yours faithfully,
Dear Sir/ Madam, First of all let me introduce myself, I am …………and recently (August 2007) I passed my M.Sc in Telecommunication Engineering from Technical University of Denmark (DTU). I was drawn to the Radioplanlaegningenior opening at SONOFON, Denmark by my strong interest and skills in GSM Radio Frequency planning, optimization, link budgeting, nominal planning , drive test, interference calculation, site survey for site selections and command on using Radio Frequency planning tool like TEMS and NetAct Planner. I did my M.Sc Telecommunication thesis project “Modeling Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3G Mobile Networks” in collaboration with CommWyse A/S Denmark and Research Center COM at DTU. In my M.Sc thesis I have developed a working model for LTE mission critical applications to get the targeted performance evaluation specified by 3GPP which includes maximum data rate (100 Mbps in downlink and 50 Mbps in uplink), network latency (user and control plane), mobility management and radio resource management. The model covers the concepts of all interface, protocol heavy programming skills and UMTS, OFDM and HSPA. During this degree program I gained in depth knowledge of WCDMA, UMTS and HSPA at radio access as well as radio access network level. I have done my M.Sc in Engineering Management and Bachelor of Electronics/Electrical Engineering (4 years degree program) degrees from University of Engineering and Technology Taxila, (…..Link…. ), which is rated as one of the best Engineering University in Canada. I have worked in a GSM Mobile Communication operator engineering company, Pakistan Mobile Communication Ltd, Islamabad, Pakistan, as BSS and RF Planning Engineer for more than 1 year. My scope of work there consisted of installation, commissioning of BSS part and RF planning and optimization for GSM network. Where I completed project related to RF planning and optimization for giving the best coverage, capacity and QoS and solved the issues related to interference. I also worked in fiber optic based DXX and wireless communication system in PakDataCom (PVT) Ltd, Islamabad, Pakistan for about one year. This is an ideal opportunity for me to apply the GSM/3G mobile communication RF planning experience I acquire during my academics and professional career so far. I would like to take this opportunity to apply for the said Radioplanlaegningenior position in your prestigious organization. I am waiting for your kind and positive response. Thank you for your time and consideration. I‟ll be more than happy to provide any further information or documents if required.
Sincerely yours, |
Dear XXX,
I am writing to apply to Institute, for the phD project regarding (topic)–.
In 2010, I graduated from Università degli Studi di Padova (Italy) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Following my first degree, I remained at the same university, where I ***will receive in October a Master’s(?? compare with original) Degree in Evolutionary Biology.
Through my years of studying, I became fascinated with ecology and environmental issues. After taking my high school diploma, in summer 2004, I worked as a volunteer in Riserva Naturale Isola di Lampedusa to support the local equipe in protecting sea turtles during reproductive season and ***educating tourists on our environment. ***At a camp for applied Eco-Ethology at Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, ***I studied the impact of the institution of natural reserves on local population. ***Through these activities, I ***became passionate about our environment and its preservation.
I ***completed my Bachelor’s thesis on animal pshysiology, studying adaptations of a sea water crustacean (Upogebia pusilla) to lower oxygen environments. ***I enjoyed my three month period field work in the lagoon of Chioggia (Venezia, Italy).(prior sentence needs more work) During Master’s degree, I excelled at animal ethology where I learned (xxx). (They have your transcripts and will see your marks. This letter should be self-contained.)
In the meantime, I attended a two-year Master Course in Science Communication at ISAS (International School for Advanced Studies), Trieste (Italy). This experience not only provided me the opportunity to practice different forms of scientific communication***, but also developed my capacity to ***interact with the public as well as scientists, journalists, scientific and governmental institutions. Through my studies, I learned how to use write and promote articles, (need more stuff here to make this flow smoothly) multimedia, animation work in science festivals, realisation of exhibitions, organisation of scientific events. ***At present, I am in an Erasmus exchange program at the Université Paris-Sud XI, where ***I am conducting my Master thesis project in the field of ecological modelling, at Department Ecologie, Biodiversité et Evolution. In this framework (framework??, doesn’t feel right) I had the opportunity to work with students and researchers ***from all over Europe, who kindled/strengthened my enthusiasm about prosecuting (nobody is prosecuting your studies…doesn’t make sense) my studies with an international research experience, and made me acquire a deeper appreciation of the different perspectives in ecology.(You have a habit of making your sentence long with extraneous non-valued added stuff at the end. Try making your sentences shorter with only essential information.) Furthermore, I sharpened my critical thinking and analysis as well as acquired new skills and techniques. (prior sentence is vacuous because you don’t support it.) I am working in R software environment on a statistical model describing reproductive pattern of sea turtles, readjusting it by search of new parameters by optimization. Attending extracurricular classes, I learned how to apply the R language on the analysis of biological and ecological data (this whole paragraph needs more work. I am not sure what the main purpose of this paragraph is. Is it that you’re an exchange student? Became more passionate about your studies? Or that you are working with soem statistical software? Help your reader by telling her exactly what she needs to read and understand. Everything else, eliminate.) I found a great interest on this topic of research because it puts together some of my favourite topics: ecology, animal physiology and ethology. Moreover, I retain the opportunity to work in a prestigious institution like Université Pierre et Marie Curie extremely challenging and as an additional motivation for me. (This passion topic is repetitive. Not sure what you are trying to communicate here.) My varied academic curriculum provided me a solid knowledge of the different subjects implied in the research project. I also developed good skills in science communication, which could make me easy to spread research results in scientific contexts as journals, workshop and conferences, as well as public ones, like newspapers, magazines and expositions. (Hasn’t your media stuff already been communicated? So why repeat? Given your emphasis on communication, a reader expects more from you. She expects tight, concise prose. Otherwise, she will question your prior communication studies.) Given my record of ***solid academic achievement and strong interest in your research program, I am certain that, if given the opportunity, I will enjoy ***excel. (You want to leave the impression that you will excel at the entire program) In addition to my academic qualifications, I am confident that my interdisciplinary and international background will ***strengthen your ***class/students/something. Thank you for considering my application, ***and I look forward to your acceptance. Yours sincerely, |
Dear Sir or Madam: I am writing to apply for the Master in Finance & Accounting program at the London School of Economics and Political Science starting in the autumn 2022. The degree from one of the most recognized and prestigious business schools is my chance to make a substantial progress in personal career and thus contribute to Ukrainian economic development. Ukrainian economy is an emerging market whose economic evolvement is extremely dependent on investments. I started explorations in investment valuation when studied at the university. I found out that low sovereign risk was one of the most important factors for successful investment activity in emerging markets. My research was concentrated on development of an econometric model for measuring a sovereign risk of Ukraine. The model allowed not only to obtain a quantitative assessment of Ukrainian sovereign risk but to define macroeconomic factors that influenced it the most. The results of my explorations were highly evaluated by Emly Mann’s and Ivan Puluy’s Foundations as I won two scholarships. Studying at the Cambridge School of Economics and Political Science will allow me to obtain necessary skills and knowledge in investment valuation and analysis to proceed with my explorations and make my model widely circulated among domestic and foreign investors. In addition, the Master’s degree from the LSE is crucial for my career growth. I have already made a substantial career progress from an intern position to a senior analyst at Metinvest Holding, the largest steel & mining company in Ukraine. It took me only two years to grow up and prove to my colleagues that my knowledge and abilities were enough to work in a highly competitive and complex business environment. My future career perspectives strictly depend on educational progress due to the fact that my managers and directors already have foreign institutions’ diplomas that allow them to communicate with our overseas partners in one language of business and financial terms. As a senior analyst at Strategy & Business Development department I studied opportunities for steel consuming sectors development in Ukraine. One of the most attractive options exists in wind energy sector that is very steel intensive. During the project I had a chance to participate in the international conference devoted to consideration of successful factors to implement wind energy projects in Ukraine. All of participants, included foreign wind turbine manufacturers, investment banks and international financial institutions, pointed out that they needed reliable partners to start business in Ukraine. As a representative of Metinvest Holding I experienced lack of world-class investments valuation and expertise practice to assure foreign investors that our company could be a reliable partner in this complex and cross-industrial business. Diversification of energy sources is one of top priorities in the long-term national energy policy that is why succeeding in wind energy projects is significant for energy independence of Ukraine. I am pretty sure that acquaintance with world-class investment valuation and risk assessment procedures is my chance to make substantial career progress. As the Master of Science in Finance & Accounting I would manage complex investment projects in steel and related industries, for example, wind energy attracting foreign investments in Ukraine. I would also be able to assure foreign investors that sovereign risk can be easily measured and we know what factors influence it. Since studying at the university I have been steadily developing personal communication and presentation skills. I participated in more than ten international and regional student scientific conferences in Ukraine and abroad. There were no conferences where I did not take a prize place. My presentation skills were significantly strengthened during work at Metinvest Holding as I was urged to prove rationale of various investment projects and market strategies to company’s top management. During studying at the university I also managed to demonstrate leadership potential. I was a captain of a team which participated in student business games. Our team showed very good results at the regional stage and was chosen to participate in the final. I highly appreciate this experience as it was my first serious successful management practice. To sum up, I am at the beginning of my career path, but I have already attained substantial progress in it. I aspire to study at the London School of Economics and Political Science in order to obtain urgently needed investment valuation and analysis skills to make further progress in personal career. My educational results as well as communication and leadership potential prove that I am basically prepared to apply for the Master in Finance & Accounting program.
Yours faithfully, |
Dear ————–,
I conducted my Bachelor’s thesis on animal pshysiology, studying adaptations of a sea water crustacean (Upogebia pusilla) to lower oxygen environments. During this three month period, I experienced field work in the lagoon of Chioggia (Venezia, Italy) with strong enthusiasm. During Master’s degree, through exams like Ethology and Organisms Interaction, as well as divulgative lectures, I acquired a strong interest in animal ethology, as is demonstrated by excellent results gained in those subjects. I found a great interest on this topic of research because it puts together some of my favourite topics: ecology, animal physiology and ethology. Moreover, I retain the opportunity to work in a prestigious institution like Université Pierre et Marie Curie extremely challenging and as an additional motivation for me. My varied academic curriculum provided me a solid knowledge of the different subjects implied in the research project. I also developed good skills in science communication, which could make me easy to spread research results in scientific contexts as journals, workshop and conferences, as well as public ones, like newspapers, magazines and expositions.

To: Admission department
I know that England is a country with a perfect system of human rights protection and solutions of social problems. Active youth human rights advocates assert its rights decisively and implements new ways of solving of social problems. As a leader of the youth community and a member of NGO I have a lot of goals and plans. These goals are improvement of youth well-being, involvement of young people into social life, finding and promotion of young leaders. It’s very important for me. That’s why I strive to take part in your educational establishment together with progressive international youth. I aim to join in researching and developing of projects together with the best world academics, journalists, activists, officials, and leaders in human rights protection in order to solve global problems of mankind as well as challenges of my community. From the very beginning of my public activity I’m engaging social projects aimed at protecting citizens and especially youth and children. The project is based on my research which allowed evaluating the degree of human rights violation in the Ukrainian province and applying a number of measures of their solution, and consequently increasing a level of social welfare. My projects have been highly appreciated by experts of Klitschko brothers Foundation, Charitable Fund “Ukraine 3000″, International Women’s Fund, Youth Union of Ukraine. Studying in University of Cambridge will allow me to explore the long-term experience of democracy building, gain knowledge and skills in the field of law and leadership, which can be used for creating better instruments of protection of the individual and promotion of democracy. Large role in the promotion of social projects has the status of leader, their credibility, especially in the case of projects the national and international level. Therefore my personal status, that besides depends on the success and rating of the institution, will provide additional opportunities to my community. I have already done much for social improvement of my community as volunteer, author of projects, member of NGO, secretary of student parliament and deputies assistant; but life changes and new challenges require new ideas, knowledge, skills and partners. After training in the Visegrad Summer School and Ukrainian Summer School of Human Rights, I ascertain that the experience, knowledge and desire of even one person with an active social position can change the lives of others people, communities and countries. Moreover, taking part in The B.A. in Law program is a perfect chance to develop both my personal and professional experience by interacting with top students and leaders of other nationalities, discovering new culture and traditions. Being an active participant of the Ukrainian meetings of youth, I know how enriching it is to meet new people, sharing ideas and broadening our horizons beyond a single nation’s vision. I am sure that the knowledge I shall receive in The B.A. in Law program will be able to be applied in the future in order to become a professional, I could help people and teams to develop their own 2 potential, to overcome obstacles and to achieve their goals. While working in the public sector we all strive for positive changes in our society. I am sure all changes we want in society have to start with NGO and ourselves. I shall develop national programs, which could help to adjust long-term relations among cultures and continents. This is my way, the way of a person who wants, for certain, to change the fortune of Ukraine and its’ folk. I am a drop of my Ukrainian people and the fortune of all the ocean depends on my personal experience, knowledge which I can and want to pass the other people. In conclusion, I would like to say that I am eager to gain new experiences, improve my skills and broaden my understanding of the dynamic economic world, and I am persuaded that studying in the B.A. in Law program would contribute to my development as a specialist of international level in the best possible way. Thank you very much for considering my application.

Table of Contents
A motivation letter shares numerous similarities to an application letter or a personal statement. Institutions are not obligated to provide all of them. It is, however, distinct and must treat it accordingly. For supporting an PhD request, this distinction is not as clear and all three documents are designed to demonstrate your eligibility to be considered for PhD studies. In contrast the cover letter or personal statements, a motivational statement is more focused on your motivation to pursue the specific PhD job you’re applying for.
Cover letters for academics are much more popular at UK universities, whereas motivational letters tend to be more prevalent at home.
For admissions staff, academic credentials alone aren’t enough to tell if students will succeed in their doctoral studies. In this way an encouraging letter can help them evaluate your passion for the subject dedication to research, and your suitability to the program and allows them to assess your potential.

Dear Prof. XXXX This letter is to announce my interest in applying for the PhD post available in the XXXX group within the program “Molecular modeling study of the activation of transmembrane receptors involved in chemical senses” at the University of XXXX. In 2009 I received my degree from University of XXX in XXX with a five-year degree of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. In the course of my studies I was fascinated by the field of research in Computational Chemistry and the techniques used can be applied to the creation of molecules that could have biological properties. That’s why during my final three years of bachelor’s study, I was a member of a research group and was a part of various research projects in the research lines. Within the projects I completed with this team, I think the one that was the most important one for me was the bachelor’s thesis, titled “Theoretical Study of morphine derivatives using molecular modeling” in which I scored an impressive grade of 4,8/5 and an award of Meritorious. This Molecular modelling study that studies of transmembrane receptors that are involved in chemical senses drew my attention right away since it provides me with the opportunity to apply computational methods to biological systems, which is what I love and love the most. Apart from that, studying physiological phenomena that are related to the intersensoriality of the senses of smell and taste is a fascinating subject which has great potential applications within the realm of innovative molecules. I’d like to be chosen for this PhD job because I believe this project offers me the chance to grow and enhance my research in a area that is part of my professional ambitions. I believe this PhD job offers me the chance to receive the full instruction in computational chemistry and its application to biological systems, as well as an opportunity for working in an inter-disciplinary setting, with the highest academic quality. I’m aware of the determination and persistence required to attain the highest level of success in this field. I am confident that my knowledge will enable me to achieve it. I consider it to be a an ideal opportunity to show my capabilities and develop new skills and I am hoping to be considered for this PhD post. I am available to provide any further information you require and I thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,

Dear xxxxxxx, It is my intention to submit an application for the PhD job at the The xxxx Institute (Paris, France), to study What factors shape the biodiversity hotspots of the open ocean?> In 2008 I completed my studies at the University of Padova in Italy with the Master of Science degree in Biology as well as a program that included Marine Biology. After my first graduation, I attended the same school, and I am scheduled to earn a Master’s Degree with a focus on Evolutionary Biology. In my time of study I fell in love with the marine environments and marine ecology, particularly. I remember with great excitement my first boat excursion to the lake of Chioggia (VE) in which we were taught the process of conducting an oceanographic mission as well as how to collect measurements of oceanographic physical and chemical data and biological samples as well as how to utilize technological tools aboard. In my university days I was also given the chance to get a diving licence and, thanks to that, I discovered to the very first time the stunning underwater world I only saw in documentaries on marine subjects. Living in such an anthropogenically-modified environment, what I most like about marine world is the fact that, in spite of his often-dramatic effects, man has not already managed to put his “footprint”. As a child, the marine environment and its protection was my primary goal. In the meantime, I was enrolled in an two-year Master’s Program of science Communication in the ISAS (International School for Advanced Study), Trieste. This course not only offered me with the opportunity to work on various forms that communicate scientifically (newspapers radio, radio, multimedia museums) and also to be able to handle the entire spectrum of scientific disciplines and issues, but also helped me develop my ability to interact with different people: journalists, scientists, public scientists, and government institutions. I am currently participating in the Erasmus programme of exchange at University of Paris XI, where I have chosen to pursue my master thesis in the area of ecological modellingin the Department of Ecology, Biodiversity and Evolution. The department offered me the chance to work with fascinating individuals from across Europe with different research backgrounds. They fueled my desire to pursue my studies in an international setting. Additionally, I was able to develop new abilities in statistical analysis as well as software programming. I am primarily working in the R software environment, which is based on an uninominal binomial model changing the model’s parameters through optimization search for equation parameters using the maximum likelihood method. I can’t say that it was simple at first because I didn’t know the language and could not even begin to do nothing. But with a bit of assistance to begin learning the language, I started studying on my own and found classes to I decided to pursue a profession by earning a doctorate in a non- UE country in order to build a global image. Working in collaboration with three of the most prestigious universities such as University Pierre et Marie Curie, Ecole Normale Superieur and MIT very challenging, and an further motivator for me. Furthermore, this collaboration will give me the unique opportunity to work in two different research fields: on the one hand the marine environment, that continue to remains my main area of interest. On the other hand statistical ecological modeling an approach to science that is, although it’s difficult and difficult to comprehend is something I find extremely satisfying for a discipline such as biology that is looking for a rigorous approach to address the complex nature of living systems. My education in the academic field has provided me with an understanding of various theoretical topics that are part of this research program: chemical and physical ocean dynamic processes, ecological processes and marine organisms physiology are among the topics I was interested in and where I achieved the best. My research was characterized by a wide range of subjects, however it is not an issue I believe it to be my highest quality. A project that is aiming to integrate and compare satellite data virtual simulation molecular and field data within a vast international collaboration, someone who is accustomed to switching between various subjects and interact with different experts could certainly of assistance. Even though I can’t claim that I am an expert in software programming right now my master’s degree proved my passion and perseverance, which enabled me to gain the ability to work independently as well as the determination to continue learning. Based on my history of excellent academic performance and a keen enthusiasm for this research-oriented program I’m certain that, given the chance, I will take pleasure in working on the areas which spark my interest most. Apart from my academic credentials I am certain that my international and interdisciplinary experience will be able to meet the requirements of your research school. Thank you for your consideration of my application. Yours forever, |
Dear Sir/ Madam, Let me introduce myself. I have been in the field for over a year …………and I recently (August 2007) I graduated with an M.Sc on Telecommunication Engineering from Technical University of Denmark (DTU). I was drawn to the Radioplanlaegningenior opening at SONOFON, Denmark by my strong interest and skills in GSM Radio Frequency planning, optimization, link budgeting, nominal planning , drive test, interference calculation, site survey for site selections and command on using Radio Frequency planning tool like TEMS and NetAct Planner. I completed the M.Sc Telecommunication thesis project “Modeling Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3G Mobile Networks” in collaboration with CommWyse A/S Denmark and Research Center COM at DTU. For my M.Sc thesis, I’ve developed an operating model for LTE applications that are mission-critical to obtain the precise performance evaluation required by 3GPP that includes the maximum data rates (100 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps for uplink) and the latency of networks (user as well as control plane) as well as mobility management as well as radio resource management. It covers fundamentals of all interfaces, protocols heavy programming abilities and UMTS, OFDM and HSPA. Through this degree program, I acquired a deep understanding about WCDMA, UMTS and HSPA at the radio access and the radio access network. I have done my M.Sc in Engineering Management and Bachelor of Electronics/Electrical Engineering (4 years degree program) degrees from University of Engineering and Technology Taxila, (…..Link…. ) The university is considered to be one of the top Engineering . I was employed in an GSM Mobile Communication operator engineering company Pakistan Mobile Communication Ltd, Islamabad, Pakistan, as BSS and RF Planning Engineer for over one year. My duties included installation and commissioning of BSS component and planning and optimizing RF to support the GSM network. The project I worked on was in relation to RF optimization and planning for offering the greatest coverage capacity, QoS and capacity. I also resolved issues that arise from interference. I also worked on fiber optics-based DXX as well as wireless communications system at PakDataCom (PVT) Ltd, Islamabad, Pakistan for about one year. This is a great opportunity to put into practice my GSM/3G mobile communication knowledge I’ve gained in planning RF in my academic and professional life to date. I would like to take this opportunity to apply for the position in your prestigious organization. I’m awaiting your thoughtful and positive response. I appreciate your consideration and time. I”ll gladly happy to supply any additional information or documentation should you require it.

Dear XXX, I am writing this letter to apply to the Institute for the Ph.D. project on (topic).In 2010 I completed my studies at Universita of Padova degli Studi (Italy) with an undergraduate degree in Biology. After my first degree, I was at the same school which I will graduate from in October the Master’s( I don’t know if you Compare with my original) degree from Evolutionary Biology. Through my time of study I became interested in the environment and ecology. After obtaining my diploma from high school in the summer of 2004, I was a volunteer at Riserva Naturale Isola di Lampedusa to assist the local team to protect sea turtles during the reproductive season. I also helped educate tourists about the environmental issues. At a camp for applied eco-ethology in the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi I researched the effect of the establishment of natural reserves on the local populations. Through these experiences I developed a passion for our environment and the preservation of it. I finished my Bachelor’s dissertation on animal pshysiology. It focused on the adaptations of a sea water crustacean (Upogebia pusilla) to environments with lower oxygen levels. I enjoyed my three month period of fieldwork at the lagoon in Chioggia (Venezia, Italy). (prior sentence is in need of improvement) While completing my master’s degree I did well in animal ethology, where I was taught (xxx). (They will have transcripts of your studies, and will look at your marks. The letter must be self-contained.) In the meantime, I completed an two-year Master’s Program for Sciences Communication in ISAS (International School for Advanced Study), Trieste (Italy). This course not only gave me with the opportunity to experience different types for scientific communications ***, however, it also helped me develop my ability to interact with the general public and journalists, scientists, and government institutions. In my study, I have learned how to to write and promote articles (need more details here to help make this flow easily) Animation, multimedia for science festivals, the organising of exhibitions, organising scientific events. Presently I am enrolled in the Erasmus programme of exchange at Universite Paris Sud XI. I am completing my Master thesis on the subject of ecological modeling at Department Ecologie, Biodiversite et Evolution. Within this structure (framework? is that a word? Doesn’t seem right) I was able to collaborate with students and researchers from across Europe which sparked my desire to pursue (nobody is pursuing your studies…doesn’t seem reasonable?) my studies through an international research experience and gave me an understanding of the diverse perspectives of ecological research. (You tend to creating sentences that are long by adding unnecessary, non-valued information in the last sentence. Try to reduce your sentences by focusing on the essentials.) In addition, I improved my analytical and critical thinking as well as acquiring new skills and methods. (prior phrase is untrue since you don’t agree with it.) I’m currently working in an R software environment to develop an analytical model of the patterns of reproduction in sea turtles changing it with the help for new parameters through optimization. Through classes that I took outside of my regular schedule I have learned to use the R language for the analysis of ecological and biological data (this entire paragraph requires some work. I’m not sure of the primary purpose of this paragraph. Perhaps you’re studying abroad? Have you become more enthusiastic about your studies? Perhaps you’re using a statistical program like Soem? Help your reader understand what she should be able to read and comprehend. Anything else, get rid of.) I discovered a lot of interest in this particular area of study due to the fact that it brings together some of my most loved areas: ecology, animal biology, and the study of ethology. Additionally, I have the chance to work at an institution of repute like the Universite Pierre et Marie curie. This makes my job very challenging, and serves as an additional incentive for me. (This subject is a favorite of mine. I’m not sure what you’re trying to convey here.) The diverse curriculum of my academics gave me with a thorough understanding of the diverse subjects that are involved within the project. I also learned a lot in communication for science, which can make it easier for me to communicate research findings in scientific contexts, such as workshops, journals and conferences, and also public ones, such as newspapers or expositions, magazines and newspapers. (Hasn’t your media material already been distributed? Why do you need to repeat it? With your focus on communicating, a person who reads your work expects higher standards from you. She is looking for concise, clear prose. If not, she’ll question your previous studies in communication.) With my history of solid academic performance and an intense desire to participate in the research you conduct, I’m sure that, given the chance, I’ll take pleasure in the ***excel. (You want to leave the impression that you will excel at the entire program) In addition to my academic qualifications, I am confident that my interdisciplinary and international background will ***strengthen your ***class/students/something. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I am looking for your approval. Sincerely, |
Dear Sir or Madam: It is my intention to make an application to be considered for my place in the Master in Finance and Accounting at the London School of Economics and Political Science which will begin in fall of 2022. The diploma from the one of London’s most renowned and highly regarded business schools will allow me to make significant progress in my career and help in Ukrainian economic growth. Ukrainian economy is a developing market that is heavily dependent upon investments. I began my research into investment valuation during my time in the university. I realized that a low sovereign risk was one of the main elements for the successful development of investment within emerging market. My research focused on the creation of an econometric model quantifying the risk of a sovereign in Ukraine. The model enabled me not only to get a quantifiable assessment of Ukrainian sovereign risk, but also to determine the macroeconomic factors that influenced it most. My findings were widely praised through Emly Mann’s, and Ivan Puluy’s Foundations in which I received two scholarships. My studies in Cambridge School of Economics and Political Science Cambridge School of Economics and Political Science will enable me to acquire the necessary abilities and expertise of investment valuation and analysis in order to pursue my research and ensure that my model is popular among both investors from both the US and abroad. Additionally having a Master’s degree obtained from LSE is essential for my professional growth. I’ve already made significant career advancement from an internship position to a position as a senior analyst in Metinvest Holding, the largest mining and steel firm in Ukraine. It took me less than two years to develop and demonstrate to my coworkers that my skills and knowledge could be used in an extremely competitive and challenging business environment. My career prospects in the future are on my educational advancement because my directors and managers already hold diplomas from foreign institutions which allow them to communicate with overseas partners in a single foreign language, both in financial and business terms. In my role as a Senior Analyst in the Strategy & Business Development department I looked at potential opportunities for the sectors that consume steel expansion in Ukraine. A very appealing alternatives is in the wind energy industry that is extremely steel-intensive. While working on the project, I had the an opportunity to attend the international conference dedicated to the evaluation of factors that have been successful in helping build renewable energy initiatives in Ukraine. The participants, which including foreign wind turbine producers along with investment banks, the international banks, emphasized they needed trustworthy partners to establish a operations in Ukraine. As a representative for Metinvest Holding I experienced lack of world-class valuation of investments and expert practice that could assure foreign investors that we can be a trustworthy partner in this difficult and multi-industrial industry. Diversification of sources of energy is among the major priorities in the future energy policy of the country. That is the reason why achieving success with the wind power sector is crucial for the energy independence for Ukraine. I’m fairly certain that having a solid understanding of the top investment valuations and risk assessment processes will allow me to achieve significant career advancement. As a Master in Science in Finance & Accounting I will oversee complex investment projects in the steel industry and other related sectors, such as for instance, wind energy that attracts foreign investment in Ukraine. I will be able to also assure foreign investors that the risk of sovereigns can be measured easily and we can determine what variables determine the risk. Since I began my studies at the university I’ve been continuously developing my interpersonal communication as well as presentation abilities. I was a part of more than ten regional and international student-led scientific conferences both in Ukraine and around the world. There was not a single conference where I didn’t win an award. My skills in presenting were greatly improved during my time for Metinvest Holding as I was required to present the rationale behind various investment along with market-based strategies the company’s upper management. When I was at the university I also demonstrated the potential for leadership. I was leader of the team that took part in student business competitions. Our team achieved excellent results in the regional competition and was selected to compete on the last stage. I greatly appreciate this experience since it marked my very first success in management. To summarize I’m currently just beginning my career, but I have made significant advancement in this field. I would like to attend the London School of Economics and Political Science to acquire the necessary investment analysis and valuation capabilities to continue to advance in my personal career. My academic performance along with my communication and leadership skills show that I am well-prepared to enter this Master in Finance & Accounting program.

A 20-year-old man from Pennsylvania fired multiple shots at former President Donald Trump at a rally on Saturday evening.
A bullet grazed the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's upper right ear , leaving him bloodied but not seriously injured. One rally attendee was killed in the gunfire and two others were "critically injured," authorities later said.
Here's what we know:
The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the person behind the assassination attempt. Agency officials released little additional information, saying its investigation remains active and ongoing. They did not indicate what Crooks' motive might have been.
Crooks worked at a nearby nursing home. An administrator there told USA TODAY that the company was shocked to learn of the shooting and that Crooks had passed a background check for his job.
During the shooting Saturday, Trump's right ear was injured, seconds before he was whisked off stage by Secret Service personnel. One man attending the rally was killed and two others were injured; Crooks was then killed by Secret Service agents , authorities said.
FBI special agent Kevin Rojek said on a call with media Sunday afternoon that authorities found "a suspicious device" when they searched the shooter's vehicle. Bomb technicians inspected the device and rendered it safe.
"I'm not in a position to provide any expertise on the specific components of any potential bombs or suspicious packages," Rojek added.
Rojek said law enforcement is sending the rifle and Crooks' cell phone, along with other evidence, to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia "for processing and exploitation."

Crooks is registered to vote as a Republican in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to county voter records. His voter registration status has been active since 2021.
Federal Election Commission records show that in January 2021, Crooks made a $15 donation to the Progressive Turnout Project, a group working to increase voter turnout for Democrats.
Born Sept. 20, 2003, Crooks does not have a criminal record in Pennsylvania, nor has he been sued there, according to state court records. There is no record of him in federal court databases, either.
Crooks worked as a dietary aid, a job that generally involves food preparation, at Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, less than a mile from his home. In a statement provided to USA TODAY on Sunday, Marcie Grimm, the facility's administrator, said she was "shocked and saddened to learn of his involvement."
"Thomas Matthew Crooks performed his job without concern and his background check was clean," Grimm said. "We are fully cooperating with law enforcement officials at this time. Due to the ongoing investigation, we cannot comment further on any specifics. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Former President Trump and the victims impacted by this terrible tragedy. We condemn all acts of violence."
The facility is owned by Kennett Square, Pennsylvania-based Genesis Healthcare. A job posting from the company for a dietary aid in the Pittsburgh area puts the pay at $16 an hour.
Crooks' home address is listed in Bethel Park, a suburb in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, voter records show. That three-bedroom brick house has been owned since 1998 by Matthew and Mary Crooks, who appear to be his parents. Telephone calls to the couple were not returned overnight.
Near the Crooks home, Dean Sierka, 52, said he had known Crooks and his parents for years, as neighbors separated by only a few houses. Sierka’s daughter attended school with Crooks from elementary school through Bethel Park High School, and said she remembers him as quiet and shy.
Dean and his daughter said they would see Crooks at least once a week, often when Crooks was walking to work.
“You wouldn’t have expected this,” Dean Sierka said. “The parents and the family are all really nice people.”
Thomas Crooks graduated two years ago from Bethel Park High School, the Bethel Park School District confirmed. He was included in a 2022 local news article about recipients of a National Math & Science Initiative Star Award at the public high school, which enrolls about 1,300 students.
Jason Kohler attended Bethel Park High School with Crooks and said he remembers the 20-year-old sat alone at lunch and was “bullied almost every day.” Kids picked on Crooks for wearing camouflage to class and his quiet demeanor, Kohler, 21, said.
Since hearing Crooks has been named as the shooter, Kohler has been speaking with classmates who knew him, most of whom are stunned by the news.“It’s really hard to comprehend,” he said.
Sean Eckert said he went to school with Crooks from 5th through 12th grade. He said Crooks always went by “Tom.“
They shared classes together in elementary and middle school. Eckert said Crooks, though "fairly smart," was quiet and rarely spoke up.
Eckert said Crooks did not seem to have many friends. He didn't recall Crooks being playing any sports, being involved in any clubs or student groups or going to popular campus events. He often wore hunting clothes, so Eckert assumed he hunted.
No one in Eckert's group text from high school seemed to know Crooks very well, he said. They were shocked that someone from their town had done this. They were even more surprised that it was Tom Crooks.
Nursing aide turned sniper: Thomas Crooks' mysterious plot to kill Trump
The gaming-oriented online site Discord said Sunday that it had found an account that appeared to be linked to the shooting suspect. The site removed the account, which “was rarely utilized, has not been used in months, and we have found no evidence that it was used to plan this incident, promote violence, or discuss his political views,“ according to a statement from a Discord spokesperson, adding that the company will coordinate closely with law enforcement.
Crooks was a member of the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, a shooting club about 8 miles from his home. It is a sprawling complex of 180 acres with rifle, pistol and archery ranges, an area for dog training and a clubhouse, according to the club website.An attorney for the club, Robert Bootay III, confirmed Crooks' membership in an email to USA TODAY, but would not offer additional details.
Bethel Park is a suburb of Pittsburgh and home to more than 32,000 people – about one thousand fewer than four years ago, according to the latest Census estimates.
The majority-white, mostly college-educated community has a median household income of $102,177.
Described as a charming retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city to its north, Bethel Park boasts tree-line streets, friendly neighborhoods and a low crime rate.
Bethel Park is about 42 miles south of Butler, where the Trump rally was held. The leafy suburban street was alive with law enforcement overnight amid a multi-agency response to the shooting. A member of the Allegheny County bomb squad told reporters his team was headed into the house around midnight, but did not say why.
For hours afterward, the scene remained quiet, with deer passing under the police tape and an occasional neighbor stepping out of their house to see what was happening.
John Wolf, a local construction superintendent who lives down the road, said he’d talked with several worried neighbors.
“People are scared,” Wolf said.
Crooks had been positioned on a rooftop more than 100 yards from the rally site, Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said. Law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle from the scene.
Joseph Price, special agent in charge of the ATF in Pittsburgh, said the weapon used by the shooter was a rifle.“It was nothing special,” he said in an interview in the parking lot of the Butler Township Municipal Building.
Law enforcement is following up on a “number of suspicious occurrences,” said Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police, including accounts from witnesses who said they tried to flag police about the activity of a person outside the rally moments before the shooting.
The FBI said in a news release that the situation “remains an active and ongoing investigation, and anyone with information that may assist with the investigation is encouraged to submit photos or videos online at FBI.gov/butler or call 1-800-CALL-FBI.”

James David Vance has had a number of names in his life, a function of an upbringing marked by domestic instability.
By Rebecca Davis O’Brien
In May 2022, when J.D. Vance was a primary candidate vying for a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio, former President Donald J. Trump referred to him — or, seemed to refer to him — in passing at a rally in Nebraska.
“We’ve endorsed J.P. — right? J.D. Mandel, and he’s doing great,” Mr. Trump told the crowd. “And let’s see what happens.”
Mr. Trump had apparently confused Mr. Vance, whom he had just given a major boost with an endorsement the previous month, with his opponent in the Ohio Republican primary, Josh Mandel.
In Mr. Trump’s defense, James David Vance has had a number of names in his life, a function of an upbringing marked by domestic instability and a revolving door of father figures, as chronicled in his best-selling 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.”
At birth, Mr. Vance was named James Donald Bowman, after his father, Donald Bowman. Mr. Bowman was Mr. Vance’s mother’s second husband — Mr. Vance wrote that they split up when he was a toddler, and that Mr. Bowman gave him up for adoption when he was 6.
After the divorce, Mr. Vance’s mother married Bob Hamel, who became J.D.’s legal father, and she changed her son’s name. James Donald Bowman became James David Hamel, swapping out her ex-husband’s first name for her uncle’s name, David, to preserve the “J.D.” — which by then was Mr. Vance’s established nickname. (“This seemed a bit of a stretch even when I was six,” Mr. Vance wrote. “Any old D name would have done, so long as it wasn’t Donald.”)
A few years later, Mr. Hamel and J.D.’s mother split up. “One of the worst parts, honestly, was that Bob’s departure would further complicate the tangled web of last names in our family.” His mother, he wrote, took the last name of “whatever husband she was married to.” Her own parents (“Mamaw” and “Papaw”) were Vances.
When J.D. got to Yale Law School, he began to tell his friends about his childhood and his identity. His legal father, whose name was on his birth certificate, was a “total stranger.”
After he graduated from law school, J.D. married a former classmate, Usha Chilukuri , and they both changed their last name to Vance — “giving me, finally, the same name as the family to which I belonged.”
