The terms LOM (letter of motivation) and SOP (statement of purpose) are often used interchangeably, as they refer to the same document. Though the purpose and format both the documents is the same, you may come across LOM with specific guidelines or word limits. In that case, you may be asked specifically about your motivations, goals or key experiences that left an impact on you or inspired you. Hence, unless specified otherwise, you can follow the statement of purpose format for undergraduate degree for both of them.
