Hey! Ja du hast mir sehr geholfen! Vielen Dank!

Die X stehen da nur weil ich nicht meinen Nachnamen ins Forum schreinen wollte, das schicke ich so natürlich nicht ab.

Ansonsten danke nochmal!

Dear Sir or Madame,
with this letter I would like to apply for the position as a voluntary supporting your project.
Travelling, getting to know new people and cultures and protecting the environment is an important part of my life. Besides that I could not only get to know myself better and learn for my further life, but also help people improving their living conditions and try to give them a better chance in life or to improve the environmental situation with my work in that year.
Last year I was part of a student exchange program (GAPP) between our school in Germany in Chemnitz ( Karl- Schmidt- Rottluff- Gymnasium) and a school in the US in Salt Lake City (Judge- Memorial-Catholic High School). With that exchange I got to know a lot about myself and learned how to deal with new situations and how to adapt to a new culture and so I became very flexible and open-minded.
Right now I am attending the Karl Schmidt Rottluff Gymnasium (High School) in 12th grade and in this year I will do my A-levels. My advanced courses are German and English which helped me to improve my communication and writing skills and with passing the Cambridge First Certificate I´m also able to communicate in English very well. Furthermore I have a basic knowledge in French and Russian and also I am very interested in Geography, History, Political Studies, Arts and Cultural Studies.
As a part of the environmental group of our school I and my schoolmates organize many projects helping to protect the environment such as fund-raising parties like a ´´Jungle Run´´ collecting money supporting the ´´Raintime´´ project helping to protect the Rain Forests or a project with children cleaning a forest in our area.
I gained work experiences in a landscape gardening office where I was thought how to analyze soils, how to plant plants and just how theoretical methods work in practice and in a retirement home where I learned how to handle with difficult situations in caring for people. Last month I took part in a workshop called ´´Student´s Economy Days´´. There I gained an insight in the world of economy, how to guide projects and how to use the computer since I took part in a computer course which was offered there.
With this program I would like to improve my language skills, my intercultural experiences, as well as gaining experiences which can be useful for my later working life. After this year abroad I would like to start studying Tourism and Environment Management and so your project would be a great opportunity for me to gain first working experiences in that field.
Although I know that I won´t be able to make big changes in this short time, but even little steps help to make a change. I´d like to be a part of that and just give disadvantaged people a chance or help improving or protect environmental situations.
To sum up, I can say that such an occupation will help me in my personal development quite a lot and give me a chance to make a small contribution to the people and the environment during that project since I´m willing to do my best in that year.
If you are looking for a self-motivated, creative, hard-working and open-minded boy do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for considering my request.

Letter of Motivation: International Leisure Management

Dear Sir or Madam,

This is to express my motivation for studying International Leisure Management at NHTV Breda.

In June 2009 I will pass my Abitur at Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Delmenhorst, Germany. As it is my future goal to start an international career as an event manager I would like to study as a German student in the Netherlands. In my opinion there are many positive aspects for studying in a foreign country, as this experience supports one’s independence, autonomy and flexibility. These characteristics are fundamental in today’s working environment. In addition, you get the chance to learn a new language, which is also highly important in times of globalisation. In order to increase my knowledge of the Dutch language I am attending a course at an adult education centre at the moment. In studying in the Netherlands I see the chance to meet new people with a multicultural background, which is highly interesting to me.

As I have always been interested in languages I chose to attend the bilingual class from year 7 to year 11 at my school. During this time I was taught several subjects in English, for instance Biology, Politics and History, which improved my vocabulary in different semantic fields. I also had the possibility to take part in a three-week student exchange with Toledo, Ohio (USA). This international experience strengthened my English skills and additionally encouraged me to live and study abroad. Furthermore, I took part in a preparatory class for the Cambridge First English Certificate which I passed in June 2006.

The job of an event manager has fascinated me for a few years, as I like the idea of a creative, project-based and diverse everyday working life. I am eager to learn about developing and organising public and corporate events, conferences, fairs and exhibitions. NHTV seems to be the perfect place to study International Leisure Management as your school shows a strong international orientation. I like the idea of working in an international team and achieving a common goal. The opportunity of a six-month internship abroad is the perfect possibility to translate knowledge into practical applications. In addition the combination of lectures, courses and projects in your study programme appeals to me very much, as the practice-oriented and project-based programme suits excellent to my problem-solving attitude and result-orientated behaviour. The opportunity to match my personal interests to one of the four specialisations sounds very positive and convincing to me. I also appreciate the informal atmosphere between staff and students on campus, which I was able to experience during my visit on the orientation day in February this year. There I had also the opportunity to gain insight into the real-life case studies offered at your school, which appealed to me very much.

Due to my interest for your study program I am sure I will be able to accomplish the challenge of studying at your school.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Marga XXXXXXXX

Hi Leute
ich muss einen Letter of motivation verfassen für die Bewrbung auf eine PhD Stelle. Bis jetzt habe ich versucht alles alleine zu schreiben. Da mir diese Stelle jedoch sehr wichtig ist, wollte ich ihn hier reinstellen, vielleicht hat ja jemand von Euch Zeit und Lust mal drüber zu schauen und mir ein paar Tips zu geben.

Dear Prof. Dr. xxx,

I graduated in Biology at the University of Bonn in the Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology. During my time at the university, I came into contact with the fascination of microbiology and molecular biology. I am very interested in this field of studies and would like to continue my involvement in recent scientific research within the scope of a PhD position.

My grade finished with my diploma work (???? kann man das so schreiben?), for which I submitted the related diploma thesis in the end of August 2009. The aim of the thesis was the heterologuous expression of the two biosynthetic genes of Nε-acetyl-β-lysine (NAβL), a compatible solute from the mathanogenic archaea Methanosarcina mazei Gö1, in E. coli BL21 and several Halomonas elongata strains for constructing a production strain of this solute. The two genes were cloned into vectors with either salt or IPTG-inducible promoters, therewith different expression systems can be compared.

During this time I dealt with a variety of methods. For the molecular part, I utilized the standard molecular methods like PCR, the enzymatic modification of DNA (e. g. hydrolysis, ligation) and gene transfer into procaryotic cells (transformation and conjugation). To verify NAβL I used the analytical method HPLC (isocratic HPLC and FMOC-HPLC). To optimize the synthesis of NAβL in these strains, I carried out experiments with variable growth conditions (salinity, point of time of induction/harvest, supplementation with L-lysine) to achieve an applicable production strain. The protein expression of the biosynthetic enzymes of NAβL, α-lysine-2,3- aminomutase and β-lysine Acetyltransferase was analyzed with the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamid-gelelektrophoresis.

To widen my experience, I would prefer to re-adjust my subject of research. Thus I would like to extend my already substantial experience that is based on previous courses in biochemistry, molecular and microbiology as well as on my thesis. In my opinion the topic of the PhD thesis is promising and significant and I think that it is quite important to have a deeper investigation in the association between different mechanisms that provoke the formation of resistance or the reinforcement of virulence.

At the University of Bonn I gave a speech within the scope of a seminar about resistance of antibiotica with the topic “Yersinia pestis”. Subsequently I completed a related work in the laboratory with “multiresistent Staphylococcus aureus”.

My practical and theoretical knowledge of microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry and my basic experience with resistance of microorganisms and their factors of virulence can be helpful to bring this PhD thesis to a prosperous achievement (vielleicht besser: for beginning the PhD thesis???).

Furthermore my assignment as a student assistant at the University and the German Press Council taught me team spirit, flexibility and confidence. At the Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology I led tutorials to prepare students for the microbiological course who later did practical work in the laboratory under my supervision. My responsibilities at the German Press Council were to publish the press review and to act as a contact person for discussions with international guests during exhibitions. Therefore I have the practical and analytical ability to find solutions independently and to deal with new methods as well as to apply well-known ones, which is essential for scientific work as well as for this project.

I would be very glad to be a part of your institute and am looking forward to meeting you in person for an in-depth interview. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to point out my motivation and ideas for the project personally.

Best regards,
xxx
