Dear Sir,

I am a graduating student of AMA International University – Bahrain taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Informatics. As part of the requirements of the course, I have to undergo 120 hours On-the-Job Training related to my course within this first trimester of this school year.

In this regard, I would like to respectfully request from your office to accommodate me so that I could comply with the course requirements. I will be very honored if you could find me a suitable training vacancy in your respected organization. I have the pleasure in submitting my C.V. for your perusal and kind consideration.

I know that a letter and resume can only convey a limited sense of a person 's motivation and qualification. I would welcome the opportunity to meet in person to explain my credentials fully.

I look forward to receiving your favorable response.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

FATIMA HASSAN ABDULLA
