To Whom It May Concern:
I was glad to hear that you may be looking for a future position at Delaware North. I am attaching a resume for
your review. I believe that my strong organizational and interpersonal skills, coupled with my three years of
previous work experience in a variety of accounting functions, make me an ideal candidate for this position.
By way of background, I completed a B.S. from Mitchell College in May, 2006 where I majored in business
administration and small business studies. During my undergraduate studies, I took classes in accounting and
business and served as the secretary of the business club. I completed two internships in the hotel industry
where I developed my customer service and administrative skills. Most recently, I have been employed at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I have been working as an Accounting Clerk and
Paymaster. During this time, I have assisted with accounts receivable and accounts payable functions, such as
the preparation of bills, collection calls, customer service inquires, and bank reconciliations. After a year and a
half, I was promoted to Paymaster where I am responsible for processing and transmitting the payroll of 200
employees using ADP. I have demonstrated attention to detail in the input of payroll data and creation/
maintenance of Excel spreadsheets.
I look forward to speaking with you further about this exciting opportunity and can be reached by email at

Sincerely,
Lauren Berk
