Application Letter for Study

Dear Sir:

I am writing to you because I wish to have information about admission to your university, the courses you offer and details of any scholarship for foreign students. I would also like to receive information on tuition and housing.

I studied at Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade for four years from 1989 to 1993. There I obtained a B.A. degree in Economics and got A’s in all my subjects. After graduation I became a teacher of Economics of Shanghai university. Now I have had five papers published. In addition, my knowledge and practical command of English is adequate. My immediate degree objective at Columbia University is Master Degree of Science.

I am looking forward to an early reply.

Yours sincerely
