Dear Sir/Madam.
My name is Yimamu Molla .I am an Ethiopian aged 25
years. My findings reveal that your country is a place for me to
achieve my academic dream. However, it is not my wish to spent my
whole life by outlying myself from academic life.
That is why my today’s utmost dream is to make master in Sport
science or football coaching or personal Training, Fitness Courses in
related fields will not be possible without scholarship.
I am a graduate of Health and physical education in
Kotebe University College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Please sir; I am
interested for scholarship in your country because of the good profile
they have in offering scholarships to international students’ .Of
course, I am eager to know more the people of your country, their
culture and their understanding of our world and their working habits.
Currently, I work as a physical education teacher and personal Trainer in a
private High school-Ethio-Parents School and life fitness Gym. Hence, it would be my
pleasure if you let me know that I can have the opportunity to satisfy
my dream with your help.
It is known that in our country, Ethiopia, there is a
shortage of professionals’ Ball games, athletics coaching instructors
and sport science educators so I believe that getting scholarship in
your country and upgrading my knowledge help me to serve my and your
country with dedication.
Please sir, I will be glad if this offer is granted to me.
