Hello My name is Susan O'Farrell and I am interested in applying for your posted position. A little about
me I was raised in Michigan and resided there until 7 years ago, at which time it became necessary for
me to relocate to Alabama to assist with elderly family related issues. After reviewing my resume you will
see that I am qualified for most accounting and administrative office positions. I am both anxious and
excited to be able to return to Michigan. This allows me to be close to my two sons and my Father. I will
be moving as soon as possible and am available to interview whenever it is convenient. Let me convince
you I’m the person you need!
Sincerely,
Susan
