Dear Respondent,

My name is Oumar Rujbally and I am a university student who has dedicated his time into FPS games. Such games as Star Wars, Call of Duty and Destiny and the games I am known for to dominate. On Star Wars I have an overall average KD over 2.0 with my highest single game KD standing at 76-9. As for core sniping ability this no more apparent than through Advanced Warfare where on maps tailored for sniping I average 20+ kills with under 10 deaths. Therefore I believe you should hire me as I am confident in my abilities and will be an invaluable asset in taking down every single contestant.

Kind Regards,

Oumar Rujbally
