What is the secret to writing a strong motivation letter?

The motivation letter is a seemingly simple, but in fact a rather challenging genre. On the one hand, there are certain requirements to the format and content that have to be met. On the other hand, a strong letter has to be original and memorable. How can you make a strong impression and stand out from the competition while staying within the conventional framework? These questions were the focus of the online workshop "The art of adequacy: How to write a strong motivation letter" held on May 28th.
