Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m writing in the hope that I may obtain an opportunity to further my study in Applied Physics toward a master degree in your university.

My name is Li Jin, an undergraduate student of the Department of Applied Physics, Harbin Institute of Technology. Next year in the summer, I will graduate and get my BS degree. I plan to continue my study and research in this field under the instructions of first-class professors and in a dynamic academic atmosphere. I choose Boston University because there are a congenial team of researchers, an array of databases and research projects in your School of Physics. I believe my interests are extremely congruent with the strengths of the School. And my solid academic background will meet your general entrance requirements for graduate study.

I will appreciate it very much if you could send me the Graduate Application Forms, the Application Form for Scholarships, a detailed introduction to the School of Physics, and other relevant information. My mailing address is shown on the top of this letter. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Li Jin

Dear Professor Aki:

I am a master degree holder applying to your department for a Doctoral Degree program beginning in fall, 1994. I have already mailed application documents to Queen's University.

My major is computer theory with focus on algorithms and cryptography. I have known you since I took part in a seminar discussing your book Design and Analysis of Parallel Algorithms, which greatly enhances my interest in parallel computation. I have also read some papers of yours concerning computer security, for example, the View for Multilevel Database Security collaborated with Denning et al. My master thesis is on multilevel database security. In the thesis I combined database security with cryptography, and got some results on cryptographic key management.

I am very interested in the areas of parallel algorithms and data security, and longing to continue my study in these areas. Since you are a well known specialist in these areas, I believe that it will be very helpful to my academic career if I have the chance to continue my research work under your advice.

Enclosed are some materials outlining my previous education and academic objectives. You may have more knowledge about me through these materials.

I sincerely hope that you can consider my request and accept me as one of your students.

Sincerely yours.
