American Embassy in Tokyo

To whom it may concern:

I am very glad to have the opportunity to show you my study plan.

I decided to go to the United States of America to study multimedia and communications because U.S.A is world advanced country about this field. I have worked as a broadcasting writer creating more than 200 TV and radio programs for over 10 years. I will make the best use of my carrier for the next-generation entertainment. For this purpose, I have already been accepted by 2 educational schools, which are Santa Monica College and the graduate school of California State University, Los Angeles.

I have a plan to study at Santa Monica College for 3 months and then at California State University, Los Angeles for 2 years. After my graduation from school, I will certainly come back to Japan. Because my purpose is to learn the advanced knowledge in the United States and to bring it back to Japan. Of course I am expected to work for Japanese media companies. Attached recommendation letters from Japanese TV and radio producers will prove my skill and how I am expected by them.

Moreover, all my family and property exist in Japan. This also is the reason I will come back to Japan. I certify that I will not stay in the United States of America after my study at the university.

Thank you very much for your attention to this statement.

Sincerely yours,

Hirofumi Suzuki
