This letter is to express my interest in the Corporate Finance and Treasury Analyst position with your client. I believe my
qualifications are a good match for this position.
As my resume indicates, my qualifications include over six years of experience in general ledger, accounts payable, and
bank reconciliations. As a full-time parent returning to the work force, I feel I can offer a great deal to your client. I have
used my accounting skills in an elected position for the past five years and have kept my computer skills current. My time
out of the work force has only increased my focus and enthusiasm for moving my career forward.
Feel free to e-mail or call me with any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kim Lancaster
