    Dear Sir/Madam;
    I am Nandar Nwe Oo; I was born on 19.08.1978 in Ayeyarwaddy Division,
    Myanmar. I was borned with seven months old and I have only 3lbs
    weight. I am a physically handicapped person especially C.P. I have
    suffered from right sided hemipareris due to neonatal jaundice. My
    father is Director of Aung Shwe Pwint company .He was B.Ecom Degree
    holder at University of Yangon . My mother was a B.Sc degree holder
    majoring in Physics. I have one younger brother and he got B.E (
    civil) and He is an Assistance Director in Department of Central
    Training School. My younger brother is married but I am single.

    Education
    My high school student life was in Ayeyarwaddy and Yangon
    Divisions in Myanmar. I passed the matriculation examination at Yangon
    in 1996 with two distinctions. I continued my education at Dagon
    University from 1999 to 2004 and at Yangon University from 2004 to
    2006. I completed my B.Sc ( Hons:) majoring in Mathematics in 2004. I
    continued my education at the same University and I got my M.Sc (
    Engineering Mathematics ) degree in 2006.
    Experience
    Actually I am ambitious to get Ph.D degree at Yangon University.
    But it is inconvenient for me as it is only possible for University
    teachers. On the other side, it is very difficult to be a tutor or
    demonstrator at University especially for person with disabilities
    like me. Therefore I am working at family company as a supervisor and
    executive member of NGO at Myanmar Physically Handicapped Association.
    This is meant for getting some family income and waiting for
    opportunity to continue my education. My present work is based on
    construction and community based rehabilitation and development of
    disable people in our country. You may see our association’s
    activities on our website:
    http://www.myanmarphysicallyhandicappedassociation,org .

    Awards
    I have never been applying for oversea training or awards as it
    is very inconvenient for private civilian like me. On the other side I
    was ignorant to seek some opportunities through internet websites. Now
    I get the entrance from the University of Birmingham with Application
    submitted of University ID no. : 1100827. On the other side I was
    ignorant to seek some opportunities through internet websites to get
    some sponsorship from appropriate group or association. Now I find out
    this Scholarship Program and this is the first time to apply foreign
    scholarship award.

    Topic of research
    Statistics:
    I set up my mathematical models of processes and systems that are
    affected by “chance”. In
    Mathematical Statistics, I find out these models against the reality,
    to determine whether they are
    faithful and accurate enough for practical purpose. Finally, this
    purpose is making conclusions about properties of the population.
    according to those conclusions, we can use those data as based for
    making predictions, decisions and actions, for instance, in whether
    forecast or market analysis or traffic planning, in developing
    economical plans, in buying raw materials or machines or equipment, in
    methods of advertising and selling products, in taking action against
    dangerous discuses, and so on. So I did my first approach in their
    teams and then I continued samples
    and their means. Secondly I tried to approach Statistical Methods with
    points and interval
    estimation of parameters and continue with hypothesis testing and
    application, goodness to fit (test
    for distribution functions), and some nonparametric tests. The last
    one or my recently works are deals with pairs of measurements and
    regression analysis, but I have not done well yet.

    Lattices and Boolean Algebras
    I also set up my mathematical models of processes and systems that are
    affected by making
    inroads into diverse mathematical disciplines and has already made its
    presence felt in the fields of
    Topology, Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, Probability and Logic. I
    engaged in research is finding it a
    useful tool in my respective fields. And I believe that Boolean
    algebra is a mathematical foundation
    of switching algebra and its application to computer is no secret. At
    the period of my Master Degree, I studied Set Theory and Number Theory
    at first, next the ordered sets and lattices, and then we discussed
    modular and distributive lattices (which have played a significant
    role in the development of this fields). Finally, I deal with the
    results pertaining to Boolean algebras and applications especially to
    switching algebras with an eye on simplification and design of
    circuits. This is thee last one or my recently works and I have not
    done well yet.

    Applied Mathematics
    Applied Mathematics Group – the main interests of the group are fluid
    mechanics, mathematical
    chemistry and reaction-diffusion systems and mathematical biology. In
    fluid mechanics, we study
    freesurfaceflows, bubble dynamics, biological fluid mechanics, moving
    contact lines and
    hydrodynamic stability. In the related areas of Mathematical Chemistry
    and reaction diffusion systems there is research into cement
    hydration, micelle formation, solid oxide fuel cells, chemical waves
    and clock reactions. Theoretical & Computational Optimization Group –
    the main focus of
    the research activity of the group is on mathematical theory and
    methods applicable to managerial
    decision-making, particularly non-linear, discrete, and multi-criteria
    optimization. Research is
    typically a mixture of theoretical investigation and practical
    application or industrial collaboration.
    Statistics Group – The main interests of this group are multivariate
    nonparametric statistics, nonparametric smoothing and wavelet based
    methods, time series analysis, mutual information,
    statistical computing, applications in bioinformatics and
    neuroscience. The group also has
    strong inter-disciplinary research links with other internationally
    acclaimed research groups.

    Pure Mathematics
    The Pure Mathematics group contributes to research in various parts of
    algebra, model theory,
    combinatorics, set theory and analysis. Birmingham is recognized,
    nationally and internationally, as
    one of the leading centers in the European Union for research in group
    theory, including pro-finite
    groups, groups acting on trees, construction and generation of
    sporadic simple groups, and
    representations of groups.
    So I want to not only attend this M.Sc. (Taught) Mathematical Finance
    Class also get a scholarship award to get my serious ambition.
    Please give me some advice for that if you can and which
    qualifications I have needed to get the scholarship award and attended
    this training.
    Please contact me freely if you have any question.
    I am looking forward to hear the good news from you.
    Yours sincerely:
    Nandar Nwe Oo

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    Here below, I have attached my CV and application for the scholarship.
    I hope you will consider me.
    Thank you, in advance.
    Yours Faithfully,
    Yonas.
    Dear Sir or Madam,

    My name is Yonas. I’m 24 years old, young Ethiopian man. I was graduated with first degree in ENGLISH language from Jimma University, one of the biggest universities in Ethiopia. I work currently under UNHCR (the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) helping in interpretation and translation services for refugees. There are tens of thousands Eritrean refugees in few different camps in Ethiopia.

    My mission, however, is limited to two camps namely Shimelba and Mai Ayni camps, the biggest camps for Eritrean refugees residing in Ethiopia. Besides this, I go to the screening center for Eritrean asylum seekers called Endabaguna.

    So, my over all tasks is I go to those places and help in connecting (in communication) the interviewers (experts) and the refugees.

    To do this big responsibility, I always travel by car over 180 km every week (to and forth distance), as my base is Shire, the sub-office for my organization.

    Before I joined UNHCR, I used to be a school teacher. I used to teach English language in secondary school and colleges. I did this job for almost two years. Except for ordinary English (that includes grammatical structure); I taught some English courses for diploma level learners. E.g. I taught “language teaching” course, “English in use I, II, III and IV”, “Class room language” and other courses.

    Since my joining UNHCR, I have done my best in helping refugees in being a bridge between them and the experts/ officers.

    I have been doing this humanitarian profession since May, 2008, i.e. for one year and nine months now.

    In those times, I’ve developed not only my profession but also I’ve gained a lot of knowledge in giving a real protection to refugees. I’ve learnt all about resettlement issues. In general, I knew all about delivering assistances for refugees.

    So, dear Sir or Madam, I’ve always a keen interest to help and to give sympathy for human beings in general and refugees, in particular.

    I always enjoy helping refugees as they are the ones who fled their own country for the seek of asylum. So, I think I should be given that opportunity (your scholarship opportunity) as I always work for refugees.

    Moreover, I’ve an enthusiasm in knowing international law (especially refugee law). I would like to know more about it theoretically though I‘ve seen it in practice. I would like to know more about refugee laws so that I can again put it into action i.e. helping refugee as before.

    My future plan prospects are that getting some knowledge about international law with the help of you and use it to help refugees around the world. So, when I mean that I would help refugees; I would give all necessary protection to them, I would work along with concerned international organizations so as to bring support for refugees, I would strive all that I can to bring improvement in the lives of refugees. I.e. to get as durable solution to them besides the daily protections given regularly.

    Dear Sir or Madam, I hope so far you‘ve understood all about my interest and why I’m telling you that I need your scholarship badly.

    To sum up, if you give me that opportunity I really will continue helping refugees in all my possible capacity I can. I would care and protect refugees around the world.
    I would go wherever to help and to give humanitarian assistance for refugees.

    “Refugees should be protected” that is my motto.

    I would like to thank you for giving due attention for my application hopefully you’ll accept and give the opportunity. I’m waiting so eagerly.

    Hoping to get a prompt reply from you!
    Thank you in advance.
    With best regards,
    Yours faithfully,
    Yonas.
