Kindly wish to bring to your attention my intention to work for your

prestigious organization. My name is Ahmed Alqarni, a PhD student undertaking

studies in Mass Communication. I am an illustrious objective-oriented individual

with requisite professional and personal attributes that I believe will value my

functional outlook and relevance in any organizational domain that may seek my

services.

Key among my ambitions has been the need to utilize my suggested

attributes towards providing solutions for development and sustainability in

society. To this regard, I have always believed that positive academic performance

and an inherent ability to profess ethical values orient me towards meeting the

aforementioned objectives. I have maintained a staller performance record

throughout my academic sojourn, which played a role in my prevailing

qualification to pursue studies in Mass communication at PhD level. My

professional outlook includes an ability to meet designated objectives with

minimum supervision.

The choice to pursue a career in mass communication was largely guided by

a reality that media plays an instrumental part to development in society. I have

found that media is the primary element or tool of communication and information

sharing within the social setting, which means that it aids in shaping peoples

perceptions and knowledge. As such, I believe that the profession will enable

create and implement opinions or ideas that will guide the scope of societal

growth.
