A number of applicants have always asked to know the difference in order to make an excellent personal statement. You can use this as a light while trying to come up with the best possible personal statement.

The first is Letter of Explanation
A letter of explanation focuses on clarification. If there is any document that might call for questioning in your application, you should back your application up with a letter of explanation. If you have been previously refused a visa, a visa officer might ask for a leetr of explanation. If there is a name change, a letter of explanation may be absolutely necessary.

LOI: Letter of Intent
A letter of intent is written as a formal declaration of your intention to study a particular course, state your reasons for aspiring to study your chosen course and type of degree, back it up with relevance references. You should write this in form of an outline.

LOM: Letter of Motivation
Letter of Motivation starts with a self introduction, an insight into your professional background and how your background factors in choosing your course and type of degree, it details your personal drive and how you intend to put this drive to use in the course of your academic pursuit.

I hope with these few points of mine, you are able to gain an understanding of the difference between these letters and how best to write them for desirable impact.

This thread is definitely going to be educative to those aspiring to further their education overseas.

I have seen the pointers already.


Nice one @JapaProf

This is really insightful . God bless and enrich you sir
Pls poster can u share more lights about SOP and LOM
I found out these are mostly what schools demand
Also for Recommendation letter both academic and professional

JapaProf:
SOP is about purpose. What you have done? What you will be doing and what you will do?

Academic background
Work Experience
Reason for choosing your course
Reason for choosing the school/country
Home tie
Conclusion.

After writing, it is advisable you give a third party to proofread for grammatical errors.

A letter of motivation covers your professional skills and reason for wanting to study a specific course.

It is all about understanding the context and what the school really wants from you.

Woooow
God bless and increase you mightily.
thank you so much
