Dear Sir/Madam:

This letter is to express my interest in joining the lately advertised SAP position from your company. I have accounting field-working experience for 10 years with multiple accounting and finance working and SAP software utilization experience. I have the flexibility to any type of SAP accounting and finance work.

During those years, my talents for showing initiative, embedding quality and productivity into routine tasks, and adapting procedures to meet management demands for more responsive and accurate reports have been refined to a high professional standard.

Professionally, I believe I am the SAP Financial Assistant you seek. Possessing broad-based experience across a number of industries, my performances have consistently been cited by managers as superior.

Many of my successes have been achieved through my capacity to identify key issues, prepare a solution, and then communicate the problem to others to ensure all parties are in agreement. The ability to find a solution to a problem and present the idea in a way that meets the needs of business is I believe one of my most enduring talents and one that is critical to the role you offer.

Considered an accomplished trouble-shooter, I can work through issues and steer a path through the obstacles. Solutions developed throughout my career have improved efficiencies, saved money, and delivered the right result. It is my aim to achieve similar results for your entity.

A “natural” when it comes to technology, I have proven myself to be a competent user of SAP, often finding ways to streamline procedures for better results.

With my CPA, MBA, SAP qualification, and dual languages to my credit, I believe I am the person you seek.

I would be delighted to discuss the position you offer in more detail. My résumé attached will provide the necessary background for our meeting where I hope to hear more about the position you offer, and discuss the ways I can contribute.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely

Janet Li
