Dear Sir,
This is Abiyu Zerfu, 26 years of age, specialized in M.Sc. physics from the University of Addis Ababa and currently a lecturer in the department of physics at Dilla University. I did my M.Sc. in the area of radar waveform analysis, mainly using modeling and simulation techniques, particularly in “Filtering Chirp Waveforms without Producing Unwanted Sidelobes”. The result of which is very nice in decreasing the ambiguities from ionospheric observations. And this thesis of mine was rated very well.
The reason why I am writing this message is that, I want to pursue a M.Sc. or PhD degree in related research areas, specifically Space Physics. This is therefore to kindly ask you give me a scholarship opportunity, so that I could be able to make my dreams of being specialized personnel in the area true and also be further asset to my newly growing university.
I will be looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Sir,
Greetings from India.
I have been working on the growth and characterization of conducting polymer electrolyte thin films by chemical deposition techniques and their applications in ionic batteries, since for the last five years.
I am very much interested to continue advanced research in the field of conducting polymer electrolytes in your advanced research laboratory under your able guidance. I would like to share my research ideas with your group.
I request you to kindly give me an opportunity by providing a post doctoral fellowship to work in your esteemed research laboratory for which I shall be very grateful to you sir. I am expecting a positive replay at your earliest convenience.
Thanking you sir,
Yours sincerely,
