For the attention of: The Personnel Manager

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to outline my invaluable experience and successful track record in the organization and planning of

events. I believe I possess the skills, qualifications and vital experience necessary to make a very significant

contribution to your organization.

I currently am employed as an Event Coordinator with Simply Green Unique Events. I successfully assisted to

coordinate a charity fashion show and exhibition and am starting to work on a health and beauty tradeshow.

Over the last year and a half, I have gained a wealth of experience in the management of events, including in a

voluntary capacity a product launch for the Samsung Galaxy SIII, a golf tournament for Toronto West Golf, and

a fashion show for Akwaba Cultural Exchange.

In academic terms, I successfully completed a Certificate in Event Management with a 97% GPA through

Humber College, having previously achieved a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I am currently working towards

obtaining my CMP.

I am now looking for a challenging new position and am confident that I will be a valuable asset to your

organization. My key qualities include my outstanding organizational skills used to meticulously control

resources and budgets throughout the event lifecycle. I pride myself on my excellent communication skills used

to engage with event attendees, sponsors and colleagues alike.

Please do not hesitate to call me on 647-***-**** so we can arrange an interview to discuss my application in

greater depth.

Yours faithfully,

Zayba Ramoutar
