To whom it may concern
I am currently an undergraduate student, in the Social Science stream for Psychology,
at the University of Monash South Africa. During most of my High School career and
currently, I volunteer at with children, where I gained valuable knowledge, which would
be advantageous in the field of study that I am in. The combination of voluntary work
and studying, has given me both a sense of responsibility, and quality time
management skills. I now have a broader experience about the demanding situations in
the required field of study, with the confidence that I will undertake my duties
professionally and effectively.
I am a suitable candidate for a position in a Psychology programme, because I work
well under pressure. I am reliable and carry out tasks in a precise manner. Some of my
key strengths include:
 Excellent communication skills.
 Compassionate and trustworthy.
 Drive and determination to exceed.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you, to learn more about the program, and
how I may be an asset to continuing success.
Yours sincerely
Bernelee Holmes
