This is a good start. Now, try offering up details on what you are learning, and what you hope the end result will be of this education (is this a formal certificate/diploma/degree?). Lastly, it will be essential to talk about how this knowledge will benefit BHP Billiton, should you be hired.

I have an MBA.; however, I bring 10 solid years of experience in the industry. My knowledge level is healthy, and I am confident in my ability to surpass your expectations.

The use of the word 'however' in your first sentence makes it sound like you're dismissing the importance of your MBA. Did you learn anything from your MBA that will help you in this role? If so, mention that. Also, talk more about some of the skills you learned during your 10 years of industry experience. Good job!
