Writing a formal letter to a university to ask more information
Please correct my letter.
For whom it may concern,
My name is Didoune XXX and I am currently studying Chemistry at the University of XXXX. Even if I am going to obtain my DEA (Diplome d’Etude Approfodie) which is the first year of Doctorate according to the old French academic system, I would like to do a full master program at your university.
I am writing this e-mail to let you know that I would like to apply for the XXX project. This project is a great opportunity for me to study at XXXX university, one of the best universities in the world. To facilitate my application, could you please give me information about documents I should provide and/or people I should contact.
I am looking forward receiving you answer.
Sincerely yours,
Didoune XXX

My point is this. You need to make the reason for your letter clear, right at the beginning. The reader wants to know,'Why is he writng this? What does he want me to do?'
