I am currently completing my Bachelor of Technology in Food Technology at the Durban University of Technology. I will be in a position to undertake work at the end of the year once I complete this qualification and hence, the reason for this letter is regarding my application to work at your company. I was inspired to become a food technologist because I could combine my knowledge and interest in science, technology and sensory research to develop delicious food products for the market. I enjoy trying new ingredient innovations for future products and understanding global taste preferences, which all create impactful products to help people live better lives. It is critical to ensure the highest level of quality and safety for each product, making sound science a priority. The experience that I will gain from your company will help give me the relevant experience I require to excel in this field and enhance the reputation and quality of our profession simultaneously. I am a hardworking, dedicated and responsible individual. I am flexible and accommodating whilst always endeavouring to learn and develop both professionally and personally. I am committed to meeting deadlines in a timely manner whilst not compromising the required standards of quality. The culture of honesty and integrity that I have been brought up with will be an asset in any complex or difficult situation that I may find myself in. I believe that I would be an asset to any company that I would join given my ambition and attributes mentioned above. This internship would provide me with the ideal platform to assist your company and to expand my practical and technical skills. I would consider it a privilege to work for a company such as yours and would result in a mutually beneficial relationship for both you and me. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Theshini Govender
