Dear friends,

Let me hope that this message finds you in good health.

Writing to you, is Tumusiime Kabwende Deo (29), a graduate in Mass Communication and Public Relations (2004) from the Uganda Christian University, Mukono.

My main intention for approaching you is to seek your indulgence in securing me my next job opportunity.

Mainly from a communication background, I have previously worked as a correspondent with the Weekly Observer, correspondent with the Campuser, contributor for the Daily Monitor, News Anchor with former Radio Uganda, News Editor for the WestNiler, and Press Officer for the East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Project (EHAHRDP). More recently I served as Operations Manager for WBS Television on a temporary contract that just ended. I am a regular writer (letters& opinion pages) in local media and international media, prominent among them the Daily Monitor, the New Vision, and Africa Files. See: Google; tumusiime kabwende deo

I have previously been involved in organizing high profile conferences, both local and international, including two sub-regional human rights defenders conferences in 2005 and 2006 respectively, and a series of media workshops.

I am mostly excellent in writing (composition), Editing, investigation, and of course, Public Relations. I boast of very fast typing speed, and have a wide knowledge of all the basic computer packages, including the Internet. I am a very friendly person, very trustworthy, with a bias towards assisting the disadvantaged people, and children. I am very passionate, kind, generous, and a good listener, and always ready to learn and undertake new challenges. I also have vested interest in working towards the enhancement of internationally recognized human rights.


I will be glad if you can link me up to a job opportunity preferably within my line of expertise, though I feel I have the capacity to stand any assignment that is available. In the event that there’s no opportunity in your organization, please feel free to pass on this request to all your cherished contacts.

Kindly take note that I have no geographical limitation (I can work in any country), no health or sight concerns, and I am in perfect mental and physical state. I have a valid driving permit, and I have a Ugandan Passport.

I am somewhat the sole bread winner in my family comprising of a wife, daughter and housemaid. My main purpose for searching new employment is basically to enable me to sustain our lives, but also to contribute to societal development, and obviously to enhance my professional career.


I will be able to send you my detailed CV and academic details after hearing from you. Your kindness in assisting me on this, is highly appreciate in advance
