第1稿（草案）

Dear MIT Sloan Admissions Committee,

I am writing to apply for the MBA Class of 2030 because the path
that led me here is unusual enough that I want to make it specific
to you.

[Body 1 - Unique Background]:
For four years at Tokai Tokyo Securities I marketed structured
financial products to institutional investors—work that required
me to translate quantitative pricing models into language that
clients could trust and act on. At 27, I made a decision few of my
finance colleagues considered: I left to become a software
engineer. Today I architect cloud-native marketing systems at
MonotaRO, Japan's largest B2B industrial e-commerce platform and a
Grainger affiliate, where I write Python that orchestrates millions
of customer interactions per month across email, SMS, and push
channels. I am, as far as I know, the only person at MonotaRO who
holds both the CMA designation and direct responsibility for our
ML-driven product recommendation pipelines on Vertex AI.

[Body 2 - Why MIT Sloan]:
At MIT Sloan I want to do three specific things. First, take
Strategic Decision Making and System Dynamics to ground the
intuitions I have built across capital markets and engineering
into rigorous frameworks. Second, lead an Action Learning lab
focused on industrial digital transformation in Asia, where my
combined finance-engineering perspective is genuinely scarce.
Third, cross over into MIT-wide CS and AI courses to deepen the
technical foundation I will need as the platforms I want to build
become increasingly AI-native.

[Closing]:
The combination of finance, engineering, and Asian industrial
context that I bring is rare; the place that turns it into
leadership is even rarer. MIT Sloan is that place.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
