What is a motivation letter?
A motivation letter is a document detailing your professional skills and reasons for applying for a course of study, a scholarship or volunteer job. This letter accompanies your application and supporting documents, such as a transcript of your grades or a resume. A motivation letter is sometimes called a "statement of purpose" or a "motivational letter".
Motivation letters are not commonly used for paid job applications, which are typically accompanied by cover letters.
