My name is Clarence Chitemi, a Tanzanian by citizen. Currently I am possing a degree of BSc. in Agriculture, completed my studies in 2004. I applied International Master of science in Rural Development (IMRD) and secured an admission to participate in the programme for this academic year (2010/2011) starting in September, 2010. Unfortunately I did not secure scholarship so far.
The programme is offered by Ghent University (Belgium), Agrocampus Ouest (France), Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany), the University of Cordoba (Spain), in collaboration with Wageningen University (The Netherlands), the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia) and the University of Pisa (Italy) and being coordinated by Ghent University (Belgium).
Therefore I urge you to assist me to secure scholarship through World Bank scholarship programme. I have all necessary required conditions except I am not in line with 2010 preferred universities.
Thank you in advance

I would therefore wish to appeal for your scholarship to enable me realize my dreams. I anticipate your response. Thanks in advance. With kind regards,
Janet Kerubo.

Dear Mr./Mrs.,
I would like to offer my academic qualifications as a graduate from the faculty of Computer and Information Science at the respected Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt being one of the best universities in Information and Computer Science in Egypt.
I am writing with a deep desire to pursue a research position to the Master’s Program to develop my academic career path. I truly believe that my credentials will be of great use in the workplace environment. Due to my academic discipline, I possess a formidable basis of onsite independent learning. With regards to my grades, I passed my bachelor’s degree with distinction and I was ranked first in my honors class. I also have a few professors who have recommended me.
One of my greatest strength lies in Software Design and Development. Teaching several courses in programming and Data Structure such as Object Oriented Programming, Assembly Language and Information Engineering has granted me the ability to work proficiently with software development using many programming languages such as .Net, Java…
I would like the chance to hear from you regarding my abilities and qualifications, and to further my capabilities with a research position. Thank you for your time, consideration, and kind assistance.
Sincerely,
Hussein Haggag
