1. Dear Sir, n
I am hereby applying for entrance to Master International Financial Management of
the IAE Aix for the 2010 fall term. N
First of all I would like to present some background about myself. My name is Arslan,
currently living and working with banking sector in Dubai, originally from Pakistan.
Since my early years the question of my future university studies and then a
profession was very important to me.
During my University studies I was the member of a student council. This allowed me
to develop and use my organizational skills. When I successfully completed my MBA,
I served as Admin Officer on admin and human resource office defence ministry of
Pakistan. It was a good possibility for me to sharpen administrative skills and
interpersonal relations. I asked myself a question, which profession will grant me the
ability to use and improve my skills. I have already realised that it must be something
related to marketing and financial management, so the next step was to find out in
which sector of marketing and management I will express myself best and could use
all my skills. I was always fascinated by banking sector, business and economics and
its influence on daily life. I change my job and switched to banking sector. I changed
two jobs within banking sector for the sake of my career progression. The best choice
for me was to enter in international Job Market so I joined Emirates NBD, Dubai.
Now I am feeling that for future career growth I should enhance my academics in a
more precise field. For me the best choice is some thing relevant to International
Financial Management. I have found the programme offered by your university
exactly inline with what I want to do. I am strongly realising that I have to sharpen my
financial communication skills, financial management, risk analysis and funds
management. The above-mentioned programme meets my professional requirements,
as I am a part of UAE leading financial organisation Emirates NBD.

2. In conclusion I want to say that I would like to take responsibility and to work as a
part of a team. I am eager to gain new experiences and in my opinion this program is
the best way to achieve all what I want to do. As it is an international high standard
programme it provides an opportunity to interact with students from various countries.
The interaction during the study seems very enriching and exactly what I am looking
for. If I would be able to get admission it will provide me an opportunity to explore
new venues and polish my skills. I feel IAE Aix-en-Provence, France is best option
for me for my future professional life and career growth. If an opportunity is provided
to me I will try my best to prove myself. N
Thank you for considering my application. N
Sincerely yours,
Muhammad Arslan
