Dear Sir,
RE: REQUEST FOR ADMISSION.
I am writing to apply for an opportunity to join your institution to pursue a career in healthcare studies. Please
find attached my CV for your information.
I hold a high school diploma from Ontario Secondary School. I believe the courses undertaken (within and
outside the field of my specialization) have equipped me with the relevant knowledge and skills to learn and
be of value to the institution.
Besides the academic qualifications and skills as stated on my CV, I am a highly efficient person with a strong
passion for healthcare and healthcare studies. I would therefore be excited for the opportunity to learn and
understand healthcare at the institution. I demonstrate high levels of creativity, analytical and interpersonal
skills especially in regard to academic requirements. I believe studying healthcare will help me get the
necessary skills that will aid my future career as a social worker-cum-public health consultant.
I am very interested in the opportunity and would be glad to discuss more about the position with you. Thank
you for your time in considering my application. I look forward to a favorable response from you.
Yours faithfully,
Durga A/P K Durai.
