Protection Officer (Cluster Support), UNHCR

Dear Madam/Sir,

I am keen to offer my services for the position of Protection Officer (Cluster Support)
with UNHCR. Based on my relevant qualifications, experience and skills, I am confident
that I would be an appropriate candidate for this position.

Along with post-graduation degree in International Law from University of Canberra

Australia, I have more than ten years of experience in family law, judiciary and legal
family court law practices in Iraq. I am trained professional having skills of need
assessment, planning, implementation, coordination, capacity building, reporting and
evaluation procedures in the Law department with government counterparts and
donors.

My recent degree in International Law focuses in various interdisciplinary legal

practices. This exposure of studying abroad encouraged me to explore the topic of
International Refugee and Human Rights Law in order to contribute for the improvement
of the current devastating situation of my region.

Due to the previous experience, understanding about the key security issues, human
right challenges and passion to work in the humanitarian sector emergency
programmes for the betterment of vulnerable and marginalized groups of the region; I
consider myself to become a central member of UNHCR team.

Thank you,

Regards,

Mr. XYZ
