I’d like to apply for a Phd but really don’t know how to write a covering letter. Could anyone give me some tips or does anyone know where to find some samples of covering letters for life science research. I’ll appreciate any help. Sorry about my English guys, still learning

Well, the cover letter does not have to be a big deal- unless you are meaning your statement of purpose?
My cover letter always just states that here is my application stuff, what they should expect to find (transcripts, application forms, test scores) in the envelope and how to contact me. But if you want to write a statement of purpose search on the net for SOP or Statements of Purpose- you'll find lots of samples. Good Luck!!

yes pamela is right!!! You could find a lot of sample SOP for various streams. explain how your experience, work as well as college would fit into that particular project. they should be convinced that you would be able to perform the project independently, with miniumum inputs from the supervisors!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH AND COVER LETTER
