Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Afida Luthfi Yuvana, the student in Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia. I have

heard about TMDU Inter-University Exchange Program since I was the 1st year student in my faculty.

With this letter, I would like to express my strong motivation for participation at this Exchange

Program.

First, I admire Japan since I was in the high school. Japan is a very sistematic country which has

excellent technology, education, economic, and many others. As an Indonesian youth, I want to learn

many things from Japan to improve my knowledge and skills so that someday I can contribute to

develop my country. By joining this program, I can learn about the technology, facilities, and education

system especially in TMDU as one of the best medical and dental schools in the world.

Second, I have a plan to continue my study abroad. I want to get a doctoral scholarship at this

University and earn a “Ph.D”, so this programme will really mean a lot for my dream. After studying

abroad, I want to share my knowledge in Indonesia and be a great dentist.

Third, I want to make friends around this world. This is very important to make friends and

build the network outside my country. Nowadays, the collaboration is urgent, so we have to start

sharing knowledge with other universities to create a better future education and service.

The last but not least, I want to introduce Indonesia which is rich of cultures and capable

human resources. I will try my best in showing Indonesian cultures at the cultural night of this

program. I also want to show that actually Indonesia has many intelligent and capable students to

compete in the global world and collaborate with other countries well in the future.

Beside those motivations, I can be a proper candidate for this exchange program because of

my capability to handle problems, social balance, and the necessity to gain an international experience

outside my University. Fortunately, I have been selected as one of the most outstanding students in

my faculty so I want to contribute as the dentistry student representative outside Indonesia. I also

become a head of student representative organization, so I have some responsibilities such as:

controling other student’s organizations in my faculty, making the concept of new students orientation

program, and doing advocation of student’s critics and ideas. Those assignments enabled me to

develop strong soft skills and to become responsible young individual.

Thank you very much in advanced for this opportunity and for considering my application. I will

try my best for this program because I believe that it will give good impacts for my University and my

future career in the field of dentistry. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Afida Luthfi Yuvana
