Dear Visa Officer,

My name is x x x . I graduated from No. 1 Middle School of Changsha, Hunan Province in July 2002.

I had two alternatives to choose before high school graduation last: either to take part in the national collegiate examination in order to receive college education in China, or to select a school of a developed country for further schooling. My family had very careful discussion on selection of these two alternatives. At the end of thorough considerations, the whole family decided that I should go abroad for advanced education.

Owning a number of large and medium scale coal mines, my father is a famous private entrepreneur in Changsha. As his company keeps on growing and the business becomes more sophisticated, my father is now badly in need of good specialists of business management to help him manage and operate the business. My father decided to let me go abroad for advanced schooling so that I would be able to assist him in the family business using the advanced management knowledge I would learn abroad. Besides, I have consulted my high school teachers, who not only support my decision but also further suggest me to choose a good Canadian school.

I know it is more expensive to have such advanced education in abroad than in China. Financing is not a problem to my family. My parents have enough financial resources to pay for all the expenses necessary for the four-year educational program in Canada including the round tickets.

After careful studies of the alternative schools, I finally come to identify Sprott-Shaw Community College at Vancouver. I know that this college, founded in 1903, will have its century celebration in this June. Currently there are 2376 well-trained faculties and about 4000 students. It has altogether 20 branches all over BC Province. Another thing about this college that is interesting to me is that there are very few Chinese students, no more than 2 in each class on average. I have applied for the program on business management. To complete this program, I have the following plan: before starting the specialty program, I will complete the ESL courses. After admission I will have an English language test, and will be arranged to the proper class according to my English level. I will also have language test in every month in order to see the progress of the language proficiency. When I have reached the intermediate level, I will be able to start the specialty courses. Then I plan to choose the following subjects: business study and management, business and finance, marketing theories and marketing strategies, human resource management, etc. After spending two years at Sprott-Shaw Community College, I will select a proper university for advanced bachelor courses. For instance, I may select BCIT or AU of Canada.
Upon completion of the program in Canada, I will come back to China to help my father with the family business. While working in my father's company, I will start from the lowest level have good practice and use all that I will have learnt at Canada.
I am very confident in the future, although I understand that schooling abroad may be very difficult. It will require greater efforts to accomplish the program in abroad than in China. But I am prepared for that. In this January I participated in the TV college program for training in computer application, as I know that it is almost impossible to study the program without computer knowledge. I am now trying to gain more knowledge and experience on computer application, besides, I spend all my spare time on English study.

Canada is a peaceful and lovely country. Studying at Sprott-Shaw Community College will be very important to me, for it means another significant start of my life. Please trust me that after completing the program in Canada, I will be able to operate and manage the business of Hunan Xiangyuan Fuels & Investment Co., Ltd. much better than my father.

Yours faithfully,
