Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this ‘Letter of Motivation’ to express my great interest in applying for entrance
to the Master's Degree Program in Automotive Systems (ASM) at “Hochschule Esslingen”
for the 2011 winter course.

In June 2008 I was graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics
Engineering degree with an expected average score above 7.52 CGPA.

After acquiring good knowledge and experience in Automotive Embedded Systems from
Robert Bosch and Kiona Software Solutions, I’ve realized to make a good carrier in an
automotive industry (especially in Model Based Development of Automotive Systems).

Why Automobile in Germany

Germany is considered to be the birthplace of the automobile since German inventors,

engineers and industrialists such as Robert Bosch, Daimler, Diesel, Wankel, and Benz helped
shape modern automotive and transportation technology. Currently, six companies from the
country dominate the automotive industry in the world: VW, Audi (owned by the
Volkswagen Group), BMW, Daimler AG, Porsche and Opel. Nearly six million vehicles are
produced in Germany each year, and approximately 5.5 million are produced overseas by
German brands.

The Chevrolet Volt and its Voltec Technology have been invented and developed first and
foremost by the German Opel engineer Frank Weber and—still today—some of the most
important parts of the development of GM's electric vehicles is done in Germany itself.

This history of automotive technological innovation inspired me to choose Germany

alongside the United States, China and Japan among the top 4 automobile manufacturers in
the world.

Why Hochschule Esslingen

I want to study at Hochschule Esslingen because of your outstanding educational system,

focus on gathering relevant work experience, and your excellent facilities. From speaking
with students and professors from your university mainly ASM Program Manager Ms Ute
Brinkmann, I am confident of my decision. "Master of Engineering in Automotive Systems"
(ASM) offered at “Hochschule Esslingen” has all the things which I’ve been looking for.
Simulation and Control of Automotive Systems is my main focus area.

Given my past history of commitment to excellence, I am confident that I will bring a high
level of energy and enthusiasm to your program. I am sure to exceed your expectations,
because of both my academic and interpersonal skills as well as the experience gained. Also
Medium of instruction for my education till now was in English. Besides, I have completed
A1 level German language course and currently pursuing A2 level. So I believe - both
language skills make my communication easy to maintain good working relationships with
individuals of different cultural backgrounds and will add more diversity to your program.
I would really appreciate to receive an opportunity to study "Master of Engineering in Automotive
Systems" (ASM) at “Hochschule Esslingen”.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,
Avula Sreekanth
