Application to Study in a Foreign University



United States Embassy
Student Visa Department
Nations Blvd.
Burma, Myanmar

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am an Education graduate of Yangon East University in Myanmar, and I have a burning ambition.
I want to be an instrument to help others help themselves. I strongly believe that through the Master of Social Work Program of the University of Carolina, I can update my knowledge thoroughly and prepare myself to assume leadership and mentoring roles in the social work profession. I consider social work an exciting profession and I believe the Masters Program of the University of Carolina can provide future work opportunities to in a variety of settings.

I look forward to being given the opportunity to hone my existing skills in the US, and pave the way for the advanced practice of social work, in collaboration with key healthcare organizations, clinics, government agencies, and other entities, in my homeland.

In the meantime, allow me to express a few things about myself and the circumstances that have led me to pursue a noble profession as social worker. I personally believe that the ability to render social work is a gift. Not all people are cut out to totally devote themselves in the service of the needy, or to work in a private firm with a social work aspect. My interest in being of service to others through social work was triggered during my younger years. I grew up realizing how there is no committed group or individuals championing the needs of this marginalized sector in my country.

I look forward to obtaining the distinct advantage of University of California’s well-rounded program and remarkable faculty members. I hope you will take a favorable decision regarding my application for admission to the Master of Social Work Program of the University of Carolina.

How to write a business letter

Memorandum

 

Date: September 30, 2006

From: Meridith Bronson

To: Franco Marconi, Director, Research Programs

Subject: Commendation - Henry Stapleton - Transport
Demand Project

 

The purpose of this is to officially commend Henry Stapleton for his exceptional contribution throughout his assignment to the Transport Demand Project (TDP).

As you know, Henry has been working on special assignment with the TDP team for the past eight months. Now that he is about to return to your part of the organization I wanted to make sure that he gets some recognition for his significant and exceptional contributions to the project.

As a junior econometrician, Henry's role in the project was pivotal to its timely and successful completion. It was Henry who worked long hours, numerous nights and weekends with his small team of researchers, first specifying, and then testing the thousands of equations that had to be run. The quality of Henry's written work was also exceptional. His regression analysis summaries were always very well written and rarely required revision.

As a colleague and project team member, Henry was also outstanding. His upbeat enthusiasm for the project was infectious, and he seemed to motivate the entire project team. He was very well-liked by all team members, and in effect he became " unofficial" deputy project manager.

In closing, I would like to say that I have worked with many junior economists and econometricians over the years and have never run across one as professional and productive as Henry Stapleton was on the TDP. I believe that the organization as a whole should recognize his exceptional contribution to a major project.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Recommendation Letter

November 25, 2010

Mr. Roberto Villas
Manager, Marketing Services
Allied Industries Inc.
110 Riverbend Drive, Suite 1550
Stamford, CT 06907

 

Dear Mr. Villas:

This is in response to your recent request for a letter of recommendation for Maria Fuentas who worked for me up until two years ago.

Maria Fuentas worked under my direct supervision at Johnson Technologies for a period of six years ending in October 2010. During that period, I had the great pleasure of seeing her blossom from a junior marketing trainee at the beginning, into a fully functioning Marketing, Program Co-Ordinator, in her final two years with the company. That was the last position she held before moving on to a better career opportunity elsewhere.

Maria is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. During her two years in the Marketing Co-Ordinator position, I cannot remember an instance in which she missed a major deadline. She often brought projects in below budget, and a few were even completed ahead of schedule.

Ms. Fuentas is a resourceful, creative, and solution-oriented person who was frequently able to come up with new and innovative approaches to her assigned projects. She functioned well as a team leader when required, and she also worked effectively as a team member under the direction of other team leaders.

On the interpersonal side, Maria has superior written and verbal communication skills. She gets along extremely well with staff under her supervision, as well as colleagues at her own level. She is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, employees, suppliers, and customers alike.

Two years ago, when Ms. Fuentas announced her resignation to take up a new position with a larger company, we were saddened to see her leave, although we wished her the greatest success in her new undertaking. Even now, two years after her departure, I can state that her presence, both as a person and as an exemplary employee, is still missed here.

In closing, as detailed above, based on my experience working with her, I can unreservedly recommend Maria Fuentas to you for any intermediate or senior marketing position. If you would like further elaboration, feel free to call me at (416) 765-4497.

 

Sincerely,

 

Robert Christenson
Director, Marketing and Sales

WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY?

 

Psychology studies people: how they think, how they act, react and interact.

Psychology is concerned with all aspects of behavior and the thoughts, feelings and motivations behind such behavior.

In a sense, you are already a psychologist: we all are. We are all in­terested in what makes people nervous, and how this understanding can help us to solve major problems in society.

Studies in psychology give you knowledge how to go from being an " amateur psychologist" to a professional one.

How can you learn the science about behavior? How can you use it to improve people's quality of life? How can you put your knowledge to good use in a career?

If you tell your friends you are interested in psychology, common re­actions might be " well, can you tell what I'm thinking then? " or " Psy­chology? That's all just logics, isn't it? " Because we know our behavior we all have theories about it.

To study psychology you have to learn scientific methods: observ­ing, measuring, testing, using statistics to show that what you find is reliable evidence. But psychologists do not simply collect evidence to explain people's behavior; they use their understanding to help people with difficulties.

For example, psychologists are concerned with practical problems such as:

• How can we ease the effects of parental divorce on children?

• How can we minimize accidents on roads, rails, in the air?

• How can the courts ensure that eyewitness testimony is reliable?

• How should people act on a date — what do others find attrac­tive?

• How can we help people overcome depression, stress or phobias?
