Letter of Attestation
I, Mrs Blessing Dominate, owns the apartment where Enebeli Rebeca and her family lives in. For 4 years while living in my apartment, Rebeca has been a good girl and supportive of her parent. Getting admission to study Medical Laboratory Science is a dream come through for her because I know personally that she has a great interest in Medicine.
She is ready to learn and willing to accept responsibilities from constituted authority and I can also attest that she is physically and mentally fit to undergo the Medical Laboratory Science degree programme.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
