In fact, I feel that this vacancy and your esteemed organization ideally fits my work experience, skills and
qualifications. After serving 15 years of service with the UN mainly in disaster/conflict and development
operation, this role is exactly the sort of role I am currently targeting and I am confident I will be able to
