A motivation letter is an introductory document that accompanies other application documents. In Kenya, motivation letters are usually requested by universities, non-governmental organizations, some startups and also some companies. Organizations that request for motivation letters are usually looking for something more than just qualifications in their candidates. They look for attributes like passion, sound ideologies, and a strong sense of purpose.
The difference between cover letters and motivation letters is that the latter are used when one is applying for something like a course in a university or college, internship or volunteering positions in non-governmental organizations and sometimes in entry-level jobs. The purpose of the motivation letter is mainly to persuade the organization that you are the best candidate to join them. In a motivation letter you need to explain why the specific activity, course, program, internship or volunteering opportunity interests you. Cover letters on the other hand, are used when one is applying for a job.
You might be already familiar with a cover letter and how to write one, this article explores the motivation letter and advises on how to write one, just in case you ever need to, or know someone who does.
Tips When Writing a Motivation Letter
- Make it personal – The recipients of motivation letter will not be amused if they feel your letter sounds copied or false. Make this letter as personal as possible. Make it sound like you are genuinely interested in the company, its goals and mission. For instance, someone applying for a management trainee position can say “I have always admired your company’s engagement with its surrounding community. I have visited some of the community outreach events and thoroughly enjoyed myself. (Give example).” This is an experience that brings out your genuine outlook of the company. On the same point, if you know the person to whom the motivation letter is addressed by name, use their name in the salutations. It creates better rapport for you.
- Give honest and authentic examples – This goes without saying. Lying on your motivation letter beats the very logic of writing one. A motivation letter should showcase your interest in joining a particular organization and your personal inspiration behind it. Lying disqualifies it all. Never fabricate examples as your interviewer may decide to follow up, and you will keep lying to cover previously told fibs. In some organizations, lying during an interview is tantamount to gross misconduct and the penalty is summary dismissal once the lie is discovered, regardless of how far you had gone.
- The power of positivity – There is no need writing a motivation letter that reeks of negativity and a gloomy attitude. Everyone is attracted to a positive aura, so make your motivation letter upbeat and buoyant. Let anyone reading it actually want to meet you. Talk about your relevant qualifications and skills and stick to the strengths that make you suitable for the positions. For instance, where you lack experience, don’t say ‘I lack experience but I am a fast learner.’ Instead, say ‘I look forward to applying the skills and knowledge I have to help move your organization to the next level as I learn and adapt for better efficiency.’
- It’s about the company – Mention why you chose the particular company. Say something unique that attracted you to them. Conduct thorough research about the company and mention a few facts that stand out for you. This will appeal to the reader and they will be impressed by your knowledge of their operations.
- General rules of writing – Ensure that you state your purpose for writing, your letter should be brief and to the point, your spelling and grammar should be double-checked and your language easy to understand.
Below is a short sample of a motivation letter for an internship position with a non-governmental organization.
Ann Mkenya, P.O Box 2354, Nairobi,
M/s Cecilia Mzalendo, ABC Outreach for the blind, P.O Box 344457, Nairobi. 31st March 2016.
Dear M/s Mzalendo, Ref: Application for an Internship Position In your Organization (Motivation Letter) I would like to apply for a 6-month internship position in your esteemed organization starting in May 2016. I have a degree in Community Development and a certificate in project management. I was recently attached at World Vision for 3 months rotating within the projects, proposal writing and community outreach departments. I have chosen your organization because the plight of visually-impaired members of the society is a cause close to my heart, since I have been brought up by a visually-impaired parent. I appreciate the work you have done, especially in the remote areas of Kenya. I would, therefore relish the opportunity to be part of a team that is responsible for positive and tangible difference in the society. My course and previous experience with non-governmental organizations have exposed me to the glaring needs in our society; and I would be grateful for a chance to learn more on managing projects and teams, writing proposals, creating and managing budgets and giving back to the society, among other intricacies of working in non-governmental organizations. An internship with you is of great interest to me and I look forward to hear from you soon. Please find attached my CV and academic credentials for your perusal and consideration. Sincerely, Ann Mkenya,

Good morning, how do you account for a period not working when you are doing personal business? Dan
Hi Dan,
The best way to go in this case is honesty.
In your CV, State that you were conducting self-development projects. Leaving an unexplained gap in the CV automatically raises eyebrows.
During an interview, you can then expound and go into detail that you went into business. To make your explanation relevant, touch on the skills you have gained in your time away that will assist you in the position you are interviewing for. For instance, you can state skills like Bookkeeping, improved interpersonal skills, customer service, sales and marketing, brand promotion, etc.

Hi BrighterMonday,
I relish every effort that you make to brighten our job and opportunity hunting journies. This very letter is an eye opener
I,however, as a teacher of Grammar Mechanics and Functional writing, wish to seek guidance from you in the field.
I have always warned my students to completely refrain from writing the sender’s and recepient’s name in the address. Simply because, the sender’s name will appear at the valediction and the recipient’s name will be part of salutation.
Kindly explain why your two addresses have the names of the interlocutors. Thanks.
Hi Benjamin,
We are always glad to engage professionals in different sectors.
We understand that human resource professionals are more than anything, human. So in the recent past we have conducted behavioral research on how CVs and cover letters are read and the best ways to catch their attention.
In the cover letter, we realize that;
1. People love it when you recognize their names, spell them right and call them out.
2. People like it when their tittles are identified ( They have worked hard to get where they are 🙂 )
3. Someone reading your letter would like to know your name right from the start. It sort of introduces the writer from the word go…
This is why our cover letter looks as it does. If future research demands that we shake it up a little again, we will do so to remain relevant and stand out.
We however would appreciate expert review from professionals like yourself. Kindly let us know if you agree or if there is something you would like to add or subtract.

Kindly let me know the minimum number of years one should be in a particular job before looking for another one.
Evans M
Hi Evans,
The number of years one should be at a particular job depends on so many factors, hence there is no standard answer. However, one should consider a few things before leaving a job;
1. How long have i been here? If its less than 6 months one might want to consider staying a little longer.
2. Does my CV show that i also left my previous job so soon too? If this is a trend, you will need to work on your patience and adaptation skills.
3. Have i done everything within my power to stay for longer? patience is a very important attribute for career growth. Your career cannot grow steadily if it is constantly uprooted before you can even acclimatize with particular duties.
4. What stage of my career am i? if you have been working for 5 years and there is no sign of stability at any company you worked, your CV will raise a lot of red flags for everyone looking at it.
So, as you see, how long you stay in a company is relative. But you should work to gain as much experience as you can anywhere you are so that when better opportunities come along they find a better you.

So when do you write a motivational letter and when do you write a cover letter? Are they substitutes. for cover letters?
Hello Mary,
The difference between cover letters and motivation letters is that the latter are used when one is applying for something like a course in a university or college, internship or volunteering positions in non-governmental organizations and sometimes in entry-level jobs. The purpose of the motivation letter is mainly to persuade the organization that you are the best candidate to join them. In a motivation letter you need to explain why the specific activity, course, program, internship or volunteering opportunity interests you. Cover letters on the other hand, are used when one is applying for a job.

Great! am sure now I can write a motivation letter. Is it advisable to write it whenever applying for a job?
Hi Wilson,
Thanks for taking time to go through our article.
It is advisable to draft or write a motivation when the employer has asked you to write one, if the employer doesn’t ask for it then it is not mandatory for you to write one.
^AM
Thanks alot. Me I have applied for many jobs but no reply.yet I have modified my cv and also try to write my cover letter to my best.
Hello Felix,
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
We noticed three things which if implemented will improve your employer response.
First of all please update your profile up to a range of 98% to 100 % profile completeness.
Secondly, it would be prudent if you could delete all the resumes on your account then upload an updated resume to your account.
Finally, please subscribe to our job alerts and apply for jobs as soon as you get the alert on your email inbox.
Hopefully, these simple yet effective measure would go along way in improving your user experience on our job site.

was once asked to provide a cover plus resume letter and i wondered whats the difference..
Hi Linda,
A cover letter is the letter that accompanies your application documents and tells the interviewer more about you. See more here
A resume is a summary of your CV. It is usually a page long and covers all the important details your potential employer needs to know.

superb. really enlightened me. i had never known anything to do with a motivational letter until a few days back when i came across a job advert that required one. anyway according to your explanation i bet i must have communicated something to the would be employer. however i’am a 40 year old Kenyan female,a final HRM student at KIM- KAk Branch sitting for my exam next week and currently having my attachment at KAKAMEGA COUNTY PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD. I’am humbly requesting for a place for my internship. thanking you in advance
