Formal Letter

[UltimoSparc]

Could you review my formal letter. I want to apply for a scholar ship. That is the task.

Dear Madam or Sir,

I am writing to apply for one scholar ship which I saw in an English-language college prospectus.

I am 26 years old and I am studying English as foreign language for teachers at University of Berlin since 2014. Having studied math and physics for over 2 years at University of Oxford. My qualifications also include Proficiency certification in English. As far as experience is concerned, I have worked as high school math teacher in Berling and Frankfurt. In addition, I have worked as computer programmer for international company.
As for my character, people tell me I am nice guy and great teacher.
I feel I would be suitable for this scholar ship, because I have a good English language basic for borth every day life and business life. The scholar ship will give me opportunity to improve my English skills so that I would be a better teacher for my future Entglish students. I would like using this chance to continue my own English studies in America.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Your sincerly,

(my name).

Dear Madam or Sir,

I am writing to apply for a scholarship which I saw in an English-language college prospectus.

I am 26 years old, and I have been studying English as a* foreign language for teachers at the University of Berlin since 2014. I have studied math and physics for over 2 years at University of Oxford**. My qualifications also include a proficiency certification in English. As far as experience is concerned, I have worked as a high school math teacher in Berlin and Frankfurt. In addition, I have worked as a computer programmer for an international company.
As for my character, people tell me I am a nice guy and a great teacher.
I feel I would be suitable for this scholarship, because I have a good English language foundation for both every day life and business life. The scholarship will give me an opportunity to improve my English skills so that I would be a better teacher for my future English students. I would like to use this chance to continue my own English studies in America.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely***,

(my name).

*Be careful not to leave out articles where they are needed. Keep in mind that article usage in English is not always the same as in German: "English as a foreign language," "I have worked as a high school math teacher," and so on. You might find it useful to read over the lessons here if you're having trouble: http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/grammar_list/artikel.htm

**"Having studied math and physics for over 2 years at University of Oxford," is not a complete sentence; it's an introductory (dependent) clause, and you still need a main clause to finish the statement. For example, you might say something like: "Having studied math and physics for over 2 years at University of Oxford, I am knowledgeable in those subjects as well."

***In English, the standard closing for a formal letter is "Sincerely, [your name]," while a common closing for an informal letter is "Yours truly, [your name]." I think you were trying to combine them here, which you wouldn't usually do.

Auch, wenn das hier eine englische Seite ist: Bitte gewöhne dir nicht an, das Komma nach der Verabschiedung in deutschen Briefen zu setzen. Ich mache immer wieder die Erfahrung, dass Englischschüler diese Kommaregel gerne ins Deutsche übernehmen.

Sollte das auf dich nicht zutreffen, bitte ich meinen Post zu entschuldigen.
