Re: Bursary Motivation Letter
I would like to recommend that you consider P Mitchell for the Retail Loans Bursary
award/program. The above-mentioned staff is currently employed as a Collections Manager
at Retail Loans, and he has shown great leadership capabilities with continuous improved
performance. According to the 2024 financial year performance review he has been rated
Exceed Expectations.
Percy is looking at studying towards a Bachelor of Commerce (Postgrad) through the
University of South Africa (UNISA). This qualification is a business qualification but with more
focus in law. This is in line with the staff PDP as it will help enhance his business insight and
understanding from legal, risk and compliance perspective, amongst other things.
The candidate currently holds a Bachelor of commerce (NQF 7) majoring in Law and a diploma
in paralegal studies where he majored in commercial law that included modules such as
Business law, Debt collections, Wills and Estates and Property Law, amongst others.
The bank has placed additional focus on compliance in recent years. Operations has been
under massive scrutiny to ensure operational practises are complaint and within the framework
of an everchanging regulatory environment. Treating customers fairly is a key requirement
within our organisation, and one of the ways to achieve this is to ensure we understand how
to apply and build business solutions within the legal and regulatory framework. For these
reasons, I believe Percy’s current academic path will be of great value to the business going
forward.
I believe that the staff meets the criterion required and I hope that he will be considered.
Yours Faithful,
