Ref: Application for a place to study at your university
Dear sir/madam
In 2010 I completed my final year at the University of Bindura in Zimbabwe where I studied banking and finance. I have always had an interest in finance, and my degree helped to further this interest. The modules I took involved many aspects of the financial world, and in my final year I completed modules specific to Pension Funds, debtors collection process and Life Assurance.
In my final year of my degree course, I completed a dissertation which involved analyzing the basic debtor collection methods on over 30 companies. In order for me to interpret the results based on this data, I taught myself how to use the SPSS statistical package. This has given me the confidence that I can rapidly learn new skills when required to do so. Overall, I have achieved 66% for this piece of work. Furthermore, the write-up required me to be competent in my use of computers, particularly in the use of MS Windows packages, including Excel and Word. I had to give a presentation of my results to students and staff for which I had to develop a PowerPoint presentation and learned to speak with confidence in front of an audience. obviously the reasons for choosing your institution is because of your proven record of success and quality in training.

Leaders are those who have a vision of excellence and have acquired the necessary skills to help themselves and others to reach their full potential. Personally, I believe business leaders are those who tactfully plan changes, enact them and have the pleasure of seeing their plans mature into reality. In Xiamen, I know my dream of becoming a leader will become a reality. The curriculum,especially the Fixed and Derivative analyses being thought in the Second year, will help me gain lots off additional skill to face the world ahead of me.
