    How to Write a Letter of Intent

    What is a letter of intent?


    A letter of intent is designed to give the reader a broad overview of your academic career
    and achievements, as well as your future goals. These letters are particularly used in applications
    for grants or for post-undergraduate studies.

    Before You Write:


    Review the instructions (and prompt, if one is given) for your letter of intent. In a
    competitive field, disregarding simple instructions may eliminate an otherwise talented
    candidate.
    Reflect on what makes you stand out from other applicants, as well as what makes you
    most suited for this particular program, grant, et cetera.
    Remember that this letter is most likely your first introduction to the person or people
    making this decisionmake a good first impression!
    While Writing:
    Write your letter as a formal business letter with appropriate formatting
    Sample letter
    Return Address
    Date of the Letter
    Dr. Veronica Patterson
    Dean
    English Department
    St. Penelope University
    Boston, Massachussetts
    Dear Maam/Sir:
    I am writing to you this letter to express my interest to take up graduate studies in your
    department. I have been aspiring to be part of your department for a long time now since I am
    aware that it provides the best education and environment for both graduate and post graduate
    Updated 10/2012

    students.
    I aim to pursue a degree in English Education in your university because I have graduated from a
    degree in Secondary Education, which is related to the post graduate degree that I want to take
    up. I believe that your university is one of the best schools that I have encountered since it offers
    courses that will enhance my prior skills and help me to have more experiences in teaching the
    English language.
    Since I graduated, I have been working as a teacher for both high school students and adult
    learners. I have taught non-native English speakers in a non-formal education class in a
    community college for three years and taught junior high school students in a public high school
    for three years as well. These work experiences taught me patience, perseverance, and alertness.
    I have dealt with students with various backgrounds; therefore, it helped me to become more
    flexible when it comes to my teaching methods. I also became more creative in coming up with
    ways to inspire my students and help them achieve their long term goals. The personal qualities
    and the skills that I have acquired will surely aid me in fulfilling your requirements and
    hopefully increase the chance of securing a place in your institution.
    If ever I am chosen as a graduate student in your school, I will continue to work hard to reach my
    long term goals in life. These goals include career advancement, improvement on teaching
    strategies and attitude, and contribution to the teaching community. I will work hard to achieve
    these goals not just for my own sake, but for the sake of my students and community. I want to
    use what I have learned to improve my current condition and if permitted to, I want to be part
    of your departments faculty to repay you for the opportunity you have given me.
    I am grateful for having this chance to apply as a student in your university. I know that in your
    university, I will be able to achieve my goals and enrich my knowledge to improve my skills
    further.

    Respectfully yours,
    Andrea Williams
    Secondary high school teacher
