QuoteDear Mr. Richards,

I’m really interested in following a course in the 3rd Summer Institute in Applied Economics from the 17th to 28th of July. I’d like to choose the seminar global marketing because that just looks the most interesting to me.
Now something more about myself: my name is Nick Mortier and I live in Belgium in a small town called Loppem, near Bruges. I’m 18 years old and I have a younger brother and sister. I’m studying economics in the university of Gent at the moment. If I have to be honest, I’d say that my biggest passion is studying economics, I really can’t get enough of it so I’d love to join another course during the summer holidays.
To finish I still have a couple of questions. First of all I would like to know whether scholarships are available in Cambridge, because otherwise I’ll have some financial problems and I might not be able to attend the summer school and I would deeply regret that. My parents both work but they’re not really wealthy, so I might be a bit of a difficult case in terms of getting a scholarship. My second question is about the accommodation, is it possible to find a cheap place to stay in Cambridge? If that’s not the case, are there any other possibilities to get there by train from another city or any other possible solutions?
I’m sorry for bothering you with this, but all this is new for me and your answer would really help me.

Yours sincerely,

Nick Mortier


*edit: thanks a lot for helping all, mostly nellie!

Dear Mr. Richards,

I am really interested in following a(the? your?) course in the 3rd Summer Institute in Applied Economics from the 17th to 28th of July. I would like to choose the global marketing seminar because that just looks the most interesting to me.
About myself: my name is Nick Mortier. I live in Belgium in a town called Loppem, near Bruges. I am 18 years old and I have a younger brother and sister.

My biggest passion is studying economics, I can not get enough of it so I would love to join another course during the summer holidays.
For the conclusion I still have questions. First of all I would like to know whether scholarships are available in Cambridge, because otherwise I am going to have financial problems and I might not be able to attend the summer school. I would deeply regret that. Both of my parents work but they are not really (get the fuck rid of these ffs) wealthy, so I might be a difficult case in terms of getting a scholarship. My second question is about the accommodation, is it possible to find a cheap place to stay in Cambridge? If that is not the case, are there any other possibilities besides getting there by train?
I am sorry for bothering you, but all of this is new for me and your answer would really help me. (this sentence bothers me, i don't know how to replace it though)

Think the most is correct. Also if this is a formal letter I would say "I will" instead of "I'll".
then it should be scholarship not ships

Dear Kubus and Bangbang,

Bangbang, Just talk Dutch cancersufferer, you are a bitch, or a snitch mate, clear or what, homecountry traitor, a German or what? Cancer off! Spoiled, maybe by pedophelia or your parents but mainly by tribals. Why don't you apply for Idols, so you can hook up with Gordon and do your thing, come together with Kubus and Gerard in a love circle. You are small man, all I see is you shrinking, you are almost dissappearing, you are now at the perfect height to perform blowjobs while standing straight.

Yours sincerely,

Steen

"If I have to be honest, I’d say that my biggest passion is studying economics, I really can’t get enough of it so I’d love to join another course during the summer holidays."

Don't use irony.
i would drop the I am studying economics at university

i would keep the I am studying economics at the university of groningen
Parent
well since i had to write a letter about joining a course during the holidays, i don't think my teacher would think that line is ironic, however i don't mean it of course :)
Parent

wanneer moest je dat doen wigger, weetk niets van =D
nie iedere groep moet da doen

It's important to understand what's changed ^^
