Greetings, Hiring Manager!

I would be an excellent addition to your team as the enclosed resume

can attest. My background includes over 13 years of success working

for Chapter 13 Trustees and one of the largest consumer bankruptcy

firms in Michigan and also here in Tennessee.

While my experience has been predominantly Chapter 13 cases, I am very

familiar with Chapter 7 practices and I believe the transition to any

additional roles and/or chapter will be smooth and fascinating.

Further, I effectively and easily adapted to the responsibilities each

position required, regardless of my employer's function. Finally, as

I have worked on many thousands of cases, there truly isn't much I

haven't done.

My diverse professional and personal history also makes me your ideal

candidate. Aside from my superior skills, my unique qualities are:

energetic, highly intelligent, adaptable, self-motivated and

dedicated. Moreover, I always seek to improve myself through

expanding knowledge and will continue pursuit of my BA. Furthermore,

while the enclosed resume reflects only my formal education, I have

also attended numerous local and national seminars.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration for the

opportunity to demonstrate my strong desire to interview for a

position in your office. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

/s/

Shannon R. Walsh
