Dear Prospective Employer:
My experience in accounting and administrative functions spans 15 years,
with the large majority of my experience as an Accountant. The details of
my responsibilities and accomplishments are outlined on my resume; what I
would like to convey here are the underlying traits and abilities indicated
through my background:
o I am well-versed in a broad range of accounting and administrative
functions. Through my experience in these activities, I am able to make
quick, well-formed decisions as issues and problems arise.
o I maintain a clear focus on producing results. Whether it is through
achieving a high completion rate for on-time payments or influencing team
members to improve their capabilities, I stress that actions without
positive results are costly and set back company goals. Thus, the "end
result" is my priority.
In addition to a results-driven approach, you can be assured that I would
uphold the highest level of work detail and ethical standards as a member
of your team. I am flexible and adaptable to both new situations and
changing organizational needs.
My resume is enclosed to provide you with specific details concerning my
background and qualifications. I would appreciate the opportunity to
interview for this position, as I am certain that a face-to-face meeting
would more fully reveal my positive attitude and ability to meet your
expectations. My salary expectation is negotiable.
Thank you, for your time and consideration. I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Latika McCrary
