To whom it may concern I am Mlungisi Plaatjies a third year Bachelor of Commerce (General) student at the University of Sol Plaatje in Kimberley South Africa. I major in Business Management and have electives in Financial Management and Economics. My interests lie in the financial industry and I have currently been reading on debt cycles and how they affect liquidity within the financial markets which is mainly controlled through the increase or decrease of lending rates by Reserve Banks of different countries. I enjoy reading on economic histories of countries and how certain world events occurred and how financial markets reacted to them. I am also currently involved in a start-up that aims to develop a service where people can order groceries online and also monitor how their food intake affects their health through the app. My courses in Finance and Economics have given me a solid base in grasping the fundamentals needed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the financial markets. I believe that this position will allow me to get real life experience and exposure to the financial markets. I have enclosed my CV for review. Thank you for your time and consideration. It would be a pleasure to interview with you and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely M. Plaatjies
