I consider myself natural with my communication and interpersonal skill that I have had for many years. In addition to this that with my extensive work experience, my communication skills have developed both verbal and written due to the nature of the position that I had, and communicate with proficiency with my managers and clients.

Great start! Consider adding specific examples or elaborating more on skills like actively listening, demonstrating empathy, giving a presentation to a group, training others on a skill or topic in the workplace, responding timely, etc., that will really highlight your experience and abilities.
