Thanks so much for the edit. Some questions,<br /><br />In the first sentence, I want to say that I can start the program March 2016 or later, how should I say that?<br /><br />In the first paragraph,&nbsp;you removed this "Based on my serious intention of research and my correlated background, I believe I can fulfill your academic expectations and I believe doing this project will shed light on my long path to prosperity." Does it sound awkard?<br /><br />Thanks so much,<br />Ramin
