Dear Mr. John Simons, I was pleased to see your
advertisement for the position of Chief Accountant in the October 31 edition of
World Star Newspaper. I have been interested in your
corporation for some time and have particularly noticed the recent achievements
she has made with her product development program. The article by the CEO, Mr.
Jefferson, in the Economic Review of February last year, gave some particular
insights into development in this field. I would like to apply
for the position advertised. As well as holding the qualifications requested I
also have relevant background that would make me a useful member of your
corporation. Four years of college have trained me in accounting and full charge
bookkeeping through trial balance. My 30 credits in accounting and courses in
electronic data processing have equipped me to work with computer-based
companies like yours. Training in business writing, human relations, and
psychology should help me achieve solid rapport with them. And advanced studies
in investment accounting will enable me to analyze the investing prospects from
a planning perspective. Because your company specializes in
investment, my work experience could also be beneficial. After two years as a
part-time financial analyst at George Commercial Group, I gained some practical
knowledge in investment forecasting and decision-making. My accomplishments at
that company were acknowledged by a substantial salary increase.
Mr. White, vice-manager of the City Bank, and other references on the
enclosed resume will confirm you my potential for the accountant
position. At a time convenient for you, I would appreciate the
opportunity to discuss my qualifications for beginning a career with Waiters
Corporation. You may contact me at the cell phone number in the resume or the
address on the letterhead. Thank you for your
consideration! Sincerely yours, Allen
