here I enclose all my informations and my documents to you so that you
could analyze it well and see if I can be of benefit also of the scholarship
that offers the program , I add to your knowledge that I have studied in
several languages and have diplomas in different languages (but the most
important are in English) .

motivation

Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in studying at the University of XY as an Erasmus
student.

I am currently studying Masters Degree programme in Regional Geography at the ABC University in
London. Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very
delighted to find the opportunity to spend one semester learning geography at the University of XY. I
have decided to apply for this programme because I am sure it would strongly enrich my future studies
and help me in my prospective career. Moreover I consider this programme as a great opportunity to
get in touch with British culture and educational system. Last but not least, I am very curious about
different approaches to the geography at the foreign university.

I have chosen to apply for University of XY, because I really like its module system of study. I specially
appreciate the wide range of offered modules and the freedom in making your study plan. Many of the
modules offered are unique for me, because there is no equivalent at my home university. Very
important for me is also an Excellent rating for teaching of the Geography department and the overall
friendly atmosphere at both the university as well as the city. The third main reason why I have chosen
XY is its Urban and Regional Policy Research Institute. It specializes in interdisciplinary research on
key regional and urban policy issues, which is the field of geography very familiar to me.

During my prior studies I have found out, that I would like to specialize in Urban and Transport
Geography. The University of XY gives me a chance to get in touch with these subjects through
modules from both Department of Geography and Department of Town and Regional Planning. In my
last year at the ABC University I worked on an empirical study with main focus on transportation costs
of suburbanisation and urban sprawl. I really liked my project and I am keen to continue in it. I would
like to use my stay in XY for further developing my skills in empirical research and starting working on
my diploma project. The possibilities that gives me University of XY further expand those at my home
university. I would take modules focusing on Transport and Urban geography and European Studies.

I would very much like to spend one semester at the University of XY. This would give me a chance to
deepen my geographical knowledge in the inspiring, creative, and cosmopolite environment of one of
the largest British universities. Furthermore I could improve my English and increase my confidence in
passing the TOEFL examinations after I return. Moreover, I am confident that my experience in
London would be extremely exciting, fun, and valuable for both my studies and overall general
development.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,
yassine sabek

Dear Professor XXX,

My name is [Name Surname], and Im a masters student in applied computer
science at [University Name]. Im writing this letter to express my strong motivation
for the PhD position in ICT and Machine learning at the Carnegie Mellon University.
My particular interests in computer science, statistics and machine learning
originates from the period when I worked as a programmer of mobile applications in
India from [YYYY to YYYY]. During my tenure, I developed several iOS applications
and put them up on the App Store. While working on these apps, I noticed that many
successful apps, integrated the abilities of computer vision, such as face recognition,
object tracking and edge detection. In the spirit of my inquisitive personality, I was
curios how those apps were made and which algorithms were used to create such
outstanding utilities. In response to this inquisitiveness, I started making an app for
myself which was intended to serve as a scanner for documents and pictures, with
special feature of conversion of photo to text. While building this application, I used
computer-vision libraries without understanding what happens inside. With an
intention to familiarize with libraries and algorithms used, I tried to study computer
vision from published papers and online tutorials, from which I learned two things.
Firstly, I could understand some algorithms used in my iOS apps. Secondly, I found
computer vision is a huge area with plenty of research and applications in face
recognition, which is very common in mobile phones, object tracking, traffic cameras,
and in other specialized uses such as in medical imaging. This particular momentum
driven my desire to master computer vision, and develop my career in this area of
expertise.
Probably in the same time, I got interested in machine learning, after I did the course
Techniques of Artificial Intelligence at University of [Name of the University]. For the
benefit of this particular course, I had to learn many machine-learning algorithms and
later on to implement a small project with integration of face recognition features. The
project has required me to make a neural network in Java using dataset from an
online source CMU2. As the project has been a success I was incented to learn
further and therefore I have took an online course in Machine learning with
Coursera. Newly gained knowledge and skills on this course have sharpen my focus,
and I have decided therefore to peruse career in machine learning. Therefore, my
masters thesis also utilizes different methods of machine learning including the
emerging convolutional neural network.
In my resume you can see that I possess vast experience in programing. As an
engineering graduate I have already developed skills in control methods of industrial
machinery systems. However, for career in machine learning I would need to sustain
my ICT skills and therefore I would like to start PhD course in ICT and machine
learning. I already have background in ICT, however, since this is continuously
evolving area, I feel there is need for ongoing upgrade of skills and knowledge,
I firmly believe that a PhD position at your University is an excellent choice for myself,
and I think this is a great chance for me to deepen my knowledge, pursue my
passion and give contributions to the scientific community. With my experience and
solid theoretical knowledge, I believe that this PhD position is ideal for me. Therefore,
it will be a great honor if I can work under the supervision of prominent teachers and
scientists, within a well-equipped research facilities and in a hectic academic
atmosphere of your University.
In the enclosure of this motivation letter I am sending all documents required by the
Call. If you need further information or documents feel free to contact.
I appreciate the time and efforts you invested in assessing my application, and I am
hoping to your prompt response.
Kind regards,

[Name Surname]
