Dear Sir/Madam,

I am pleased to submit my application for the Toyota Dream Scholarship which was made available through your career website recently.

For your information, I am currently undertaking University Foundation course in Sunquick College, Manila Road, Philippines, which is due to finish in July 2008.

I have received an offer from the National University of Philippines to pursue a Degree in International Business Relation, which will commence in October 2008. The course has been my Degree of choice due to potential academic and extra curricular exposure offered, plus the 1-year international exchange program that comes with it.

Aligned with the globalization trend, international and cultural borders between countries are depleting and I believe I made the right choice in picking up International Business Relation as my field of study.

Together with the application letter, I enclose herewith the completed application form, as well as my full resume and photocopies of academic transcripts and certificates, as stated in your requirement. The Toyota Dream Scholarship is a platform that will allow me to explore my full potential, and it is a definite blessing for me to get a financial assistance from Toyota in pursuing my career dream.

Your kind consideration is highly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Gonzalez Zapata
