2. COVER LETTER
Dear Mr/Miss/Mrs
I am writing to express my keen interest in a logistics position in your company. My
knowledge in logistics and management makes me suitable contender for such a
position
I have been educated in Logistics Management, Transport planning and many more,
these have instilled in me the ability to provide support and knowledge to most project
operational personnel and devise logistics procedures to facilitate the movement of
goods or services. I have not had any exposure to the corporate world thus placing me
without experience, reason being that I have just completed my Bcom Degree in
Transport Economics. I have an understanding of supply chain management including
Forecasting, planning and inventory control.
With my exceptional communication skills and interest in the movement of goods
both locally and internationally, I am positive that I have much to add and learn from
your company. I would appreciate your time in reviewing my CV.
Yours faithfully
Khetho Phinda
