Dear Sir,
RE: APPLICATION FOR THE LEGAL CLERK POSITION.
I hereby humbly submit in my Application letter with the intent of applying for the Legal Clerk position at the Insurance Regulatory Authority of Uganda. Please review my details as well as attached resume.
As you will see from my resume, I hold a Diploma in Law from the Law Development Centre
(LDC), a Process Server Certificate from the High Court of Uganda and I have worked for a number of Law Firms in the past four years. I have also undertaken an international certificate, CompTia A+. I believe this training and experience will stand me in good stead if offered the above position.
During the past three years, I have worked extensively in this position and have been exposed to a number of Court, Land and URA Registries throughout the Country. I have been able to provide high level Legal support to five Advocates and follow instructions to the dot during the time I have spent in my present job at Wassanyi & Co. Advocates. I am also well versed with the ECCMIS platform.
I would appreciate the Opportunity to discuss in person why I feel I am the best fit for the Legal Clerk position.
Yours sincerely,
BUSINGE PIUS.
