Request for Assistance and Employment Consideration – UNHCR Asylum Seeker in Indonesia Dear Sir or Madam, Respected Reader, I am writing to respectfully request your consideration and assistance in view of my current humanitarian and personal circumstances. I am officially registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Indonesia and am presently under consideration for refugee status. I have been granted legal permission to remain in Indonesia until further notice, as confirmed by UNHCR documentation. During this period, I am recognised as a person of concern to UNHCR and am protected from forcible return to my country of origin while my application is under review. Due to significant past losses and circumstances beyond my control, I do not have family members or external support to rely upon. My current priority is to preserve my health, as I have a medical condition that prevents me from undertaking physically demanding activ ities or enduring prolonged stress. As a result, my mobility and daily functioning are limited, and maintaining a stable and suitable living environment is essential. Over the past year, I have actively sought online and remote opportunities that would allow me to contribute meaningfully wit hin the limitations of my legal status and health condition. During this time, I have experienced prolonged periods without adequate support, suitab le accommodation, or reliable access to communication tools. Unfortunately, UNHCR Indonesia is presently unable to offer relocation assistance, and access to financial or medical support involves a lengthy and uncertain process. Furthermore, my current documentation provides legal residence only and does not permit formal employment under Indonesian regulations. I respectfully seek your assistance in any form you may consider appropriate, whether through humanitarian support, guidance, or a suitable opportunity aligned with my circumstances. With such assistance, I would be able to secure stable accommodation, address my medical needs, and work toward rebuilding my life with dignity and independence. Should a suitable position or opportunity be offered, I would be grateful for the chance to begin immediately. With understanding and flexibility regarding my situation, I am confident in my commitment, reliability, and capacity for personal and professional development. Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and consideration. Any support extended to me during this difficult period would be sincerely appreciated. Yours sincerely, N. B.
