To whom it may concern 

I am Lukhona Nomzamo Temba who studied Consumer Science: Food and Nutrition. I am a well-spoken person who is capable of speaking to people at various levels, and particularly to people within the nutrition and Food science fields. 
Having had an opportunity to study food microbiology which relates to food safety and hygiene (HACCP), Food Science which entails Quality Control and product development as well as Nutrition which relates to practice of healthy eating throughout the lifecycle of an individual, I strongly believe that I stand chance to be considered as a candidate for this post as I am a young, driven and innovative individual with good interpersonal skills. I also have an ability to work well in a team.

With the knowledge and skills that I already have I believe that it will be put to great use and make me an asset in your organization and also giving me room to grow as an individual in terms of both career and personal goals

It is for this reason that I was inspired to explore a career opportunity with your company as I am also willing to relocate. 
I sincerely trust that you will give my application your serious consideration and I shall be more than happy to share or clarify any further details you may need. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate one on one.

I enclosed my resume for your consideration and I thank you in anticipation for your consideration.

Kind Regards, 

Lukhona Nomzamo Temba
