Dear Sir/Madam

RE: APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF LEGAL,COMPLIANCE AND GOVERNANCE OFFICER

In humble and profound determination to be part of your institution, kindly regard this letter as a formal application for the position of Legal,Compliance and Governance Officer.

I am an energetic LiSwati adult male aged 37 years old, holding a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree obtained from the University of Eswatini in 2010. I am an admitted Attorney of the High Court of Eswatini. I have been practicing law from February 2013 until August 2019. I also held the position of Compliance Graduate Trainee for a year, so I have the knowledge and experience required in order to occupy such a position. Currently I am holding the position of Professional Assistant.

I have outstanding interpersonal and communications skills with the ability to identify, analyse issues and give legal advice thereon. I have a better understanding of legal,anti-money laundering and compliance issues, dealing with internal and external stakeholders. I know how to compile compliance risk management plan, compliance risk register,and declarations for departments, compliance monitoring, preparing reports and escalating issues to senior management. I also know how to prepare and implement governance policies and procedures. Furthermore, as a practicing Attorney I gained a better understanding of the country's legislation. I have perfect understanding of commercial law, civil law, and company law, criminal and labour law. I am a team player who relates easy with any character, having high moral standards and do strive under a lot of pressure. I am also a self-motivated, transparent and innovative individual who is eager to learn more.

I would like to join your institution because that will enable me to sharpen my skills and in turn, to ensure that I contribute positively to the working environment of your institution.

I have attached certified copies of my academic certificates for your attention, and I hope that my application will reach your favourable consideration. I am amenable to any interview that I might be required to undergo.

Yours faithfully
