To Whom I t May Concern,
I am seeking employment in the accounting department of your company. I have just
f inished my accounting classes at Germanna with a GPA of 4.0. This completes the
requirements for the accounting certificate I will receive in August. I have enjoyed the
math and accounting classes and found that working with numbers and accounting
software comes natural to me; I learn very quickly. I am hoping to further my knowledge
and find room for advancement in a business setting.
Currently, I am a college student at Germanna Community College working toward an
Associates of Applied Science in Business Management degree as well as earning the
certificate in accounting. I am also a responsible stay at home mother that cares for another
child in my home. This child’s family depends on me as much as my own. I am reliable and

s tand up to the challenge of providing quality care and education to these very special
children. My daughter will start school soon and I am entering the work force again.
Though education is important, so is experience. My past employment, as you will see in
my résumé, has required me to mult itask and problem solve, as well as be organized and
dependable. I t has also required me to be a leader and practice good verbal and wri t ten
communication skills. The fields may be unrelated but the skills are common ground.
I hope you will consider me for any openings you may have. I would be a good addition to
your staff.
Sincerely,
Amber Harley

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in reference to my acquaintance with Amber Harley. Amber has been a student in
my Principles of Accounting 211 and 212 courses. Over the past academic year, she has
consistently exhibited a professional competent attitude in and out of class. Her academic
performance is exemplary. Her assignments are of excellent quality and are always completed
and turned in on time. In our numerous in class group activities she is personable and
collaborates well with others. Her oral communication skills are an excellent example to her
classmates as she has had opportunities to present information to the class. I believe Amber will
be a fantastic asset to any accounting department.
Sincerely,
Julie M. Wallace
