Dear Sir/Madam:

I am a graduate student majoring in Condensed Matter Physics Theory in the Department of Physics, Tsinghua University (Beijing). I wish to pursue a doctoral degree in Physics at University of South California. My desired date of entrance is Fall, 1999. I am writing this letter to introduce myself and request necessary materials about the application and financial supports. Born on May 6, 1978, I entered Huazhong Univ. of Science and Technology (HUST) when I was 15 years old. I finished the four-year undergraduate program in three years and achieved my degree of B. Eng. (Optoelectronic Engineering) in June 1996. Then, I was admitted to the Graduate School of Tsinghua University at the Department of Physics. I will obtain my degree of M. S. (Physics) in June 1999. I learn from my advisor that your university is one of the best universities in U.K. and has a strong research background and many famous professors. I eagerly wish I can continue my graduate study on condensed matter physics at your university. I have taken the TOEFL (Oct. 1997, 637). I do believe that the doctorate-oriented study at Cambridge will be of great help to me. I hope my solid background in both physics and engineering can meet your general requirements of entrance to Physics Department as a graduate with financial supports. Would you please consider my application and send me the Application Forms, the Financial Supports Forms, the introductions of faculty and research and other relevant information about the Physics Department of Cambridge? Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
