Dear Sir or Madame:
Please consider me for the Office Clerk position available with your company. I’m confident that my prior
office experience, varied secretarial skills and professionalism qualify me. Prior positions I’ve held were
Billing/Data Entry Clerk, Accounting Assistant and Accounts Payable/Receivable Clerk. I’ve also assisted with
answering phones, provided clerical support to Payroll Clerk and created Microsoft Word documents for the
CEO using a voice transcriber when needed. Most of my computer experience has been with Microsoft Excel,
Lotus 1-2-3, Realworld Accounting and ACCPAC. I’ve also completed some projects in Microsoft Word,
Quickbooks and Access. My organizational skills are exceptional. I’m self-motivated and efficient in a fast-
paced environment. You would find me detail-oriented, dependable, able to multi-task, a quick learner and
professional in attitude, appearance and work ethic. Please allow me this opportunity to become an asset to
your company.
Sincerely,
Vickie Merritt
