not sure about the beginning of a letter of motivation
I have a question about how to start a motivation letter ... my first sentence should sound something like:
I was very excited after learning about the PTC Fellowship in Geneva and hereby apply as candidate for the xy fellowship.
- is there a more suitable word than "excited"?
- should I use "after" or not?
- someone said I should probably say "hereby like to apply" but I thought it's better without like?
Thanks in advance!
