Letter of motivation
A Letter of Motivation is a letter directly addressed to the admission committee/department faculty explaining your objectives, motivation, and goals related to the course.
The motivation letter allows to you be in direct contact with the professor/department, hence, you should always aim to highlight points that make you stand out of the crowd, especially for Ph.D. aspirants.
An academic motivational letter and a professional motivational letter are very different.
The academic one goes directly to the faculty/department as your proof of interest in joining their program and university. The professional one acts as a cover letter to your resume/CV describing why you are a good fit for the job. So do keep an eye out when you are searching for samples or formats!
Always remember the motivational letter is for your admission.
