Letter of motivation
Intro
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been asked to write a letter of motivation and to complete it within 30 minutes
Past tense
Ever since I was young I have been interested in blowing up tall buildings. When I was twelve years old I set fire to the local library.
Present tense
Now I am in prison.
Future
I hope that I will be freed soon to continue my path of destruction. If you accept me on the explosives for beginners course I will be your best student.
I look forward to receiving your positive response.
Yours faithfully,
