I am a good match for your EMBA program at ____ University because of how my interests are mirrored by the dedication of your program to the development of students' ability to apply integrative knowledge and personal skills to genuine business problems, especially on an international level.
As the current Internal Sales Manager for all North America for a European-based company called ____, I have increasingly become fascinated by the challenges of doing business across borders, the international aspect of business that I find highly intriguing, and attractive. But I need your program at ____ to help me understand the theoretical aspects of the pragmatic realities of the challenges facing international corporations. You can provide me with the intellectual tools I need to become the best I can be as an international manager.
Looking forward to someday becoming the CEO of a corporation that does business throughout much of the world, I have much to learn in your program. For a fraternity boy, I am especially exceptional lying dedicated to school, serious, and, most importantly, compassionate for those less fortunate in life, the poor, and those who have their roads to advancement blocked by unjust economic and political structures. I see myself increasingly as not only an American, but a world citizen. I especially look forward to an in-depth study of corporate social responsibility. As president of my fraternity (Kappa Alpha), I organized, zed all our philanthropical activities, and raised a lot of money for various charitable organizations. I am a kind man who longs to do business with warmth, friendship, honesty, and especially. I do not want the power to be able to exercise it. I want it to be able to help people.
My central convictions, principles, and goals in life include advocacy and the proposition that conducting business in a socially responsible way is the most profitable way to run a corporation, especially over the long term. I am mature at 25 and have finely refined corporate management skills with an international company. I look forward to becoming an asset to your program at __U because of my profound sincerity, curiosity, and intense drive to make the world a better place to live for all of us through economic development led by the private sector.
I am a cosmopolitan man, well read, and well-traveled, having seen most of Europe since my company is based in Copenhagen. Thus, I look forward with keen anticipation to sharing experiences and strategies with my teachers and peers from around the world, working together to make our global village a kinder, softer, and more comfortable place to live for people of all nations: through increased efficiency of international corporate management and respect for the need for social responsibility.
Thank you for considering my application.
