Subject: Self-introduction  Dear Professor Brad, I am writing this email to introduce myself to you. My name is Li MingYu. I am a year one telematics student. I have graduated from Pioneer Junior College and my subject combinations are Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Economics.  Personally, I enjoy solving problems related to mathematics and physics. Choosing telematics enables me to continue studying what I like. Also, I have great passion towards programming. I am keen in trying out programming but I do not have adequate amount of knowledge on programming.  Therefore, I hope to further my studies in this field to broaden my knowledge on programming.  In terms of communication, I think that my strength is that I am confident in public speaking. There is one compulsory subject named Project Work in every Junior College. This subject requires student to do presentation in front of the class very often. This experience allowed me to improve my presentation skills and
