Dear spiral78,

Well, in academia, at least, according to Wiki, letters of intent, statements of purpose seem to be "identical

"In academia, a letter of intent is part of the application process in which it is also known as a statement of purpose or application essay."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_intent

This offers some good general suggeestions. The first 15 slides deal with CVs; letters of Intent begin on slide 16.

for all intents and purposes, anyway Very Happy

Regards,
John

Dear John:

Thanks for the official clarification. I was intending to identify the purpose of each term to help facilitate my students in their writing. Confused

Best,
spiral

I have always associated Statements of Intent with applications for grants, from an Arts Council, for example. Like the one I wrote for a monument to Marx in London.
