Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is....and I am a proud student of this prestigious institution.
The reason why I am sending this letter is to express my concern with regard to the imminent professional future of other students and my own as well. It is mistakenly assumed that success in proffesions is simply a result of intellectual ability but I believe that there are further factors that may influence student and therefore professional success.
Hard skills are teachable and measurable abilities and they are part of all institutional programs. However, there are other skills known as "soft skills" which are related to interpersonal abilities and they are hard to define and evaluate. These abilities include communication skills, cooperative work and empathy, among others.
I strongly believe it would be interesting as well as useful if you could offer a "soft skills course" to tackle the real needs of the working market which seeks for very adaptable employees. No matter the career each student chooses, it will probably be the best tool we can get to face our professional future with more self-confidence.
I humbly expect that you take into consideration my request.
Yours sincerely,
........
