SEE ATTACHED COVER LETTER

For Prospective Employer

Required cover letter of Margie Riendeau

My resume demonstrates my abilities and experience in the area of BSA compliance, Bank Operations, Branch Management and as a Paralegal. However, I have more experience not noted in my resume. I have been in Operations prior to my history on my resume. I Have been a Training Officer, an Operations Officer and an AVP Operations Officer for the Southern California Central Operations Division of a major bank. I have received additional credentials throughout my career as required by my various employers. I am CAMS certified and a Certified Paralegal.

I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge with Supervisors and Department Managers to assist them with making their job easier and their department viewed as outstanding. My most recent employment has been as a consultant in the BSA/AML compliance and risk areas of various banks. In this capacity I would utilize my background experience and knowledge in analysis and relevance of customers’ financial activity for risk or BSA issues ; review the supporting documents as proof of the narrative. In some instances I made suggestions for changes in procedures for documentation requirements when opening new accounts. This knowledge is from many years as an Operations Officer and Training Officer.

As a consultant I enjoy working with the department manager/head/ or supervisor to assist them to achieve their goals and to assist in "look backs," or complying with suggestions by auditors or regulators. Or, just be an analyst. Achieving their department goals is my forte. I enjoy the search for forensic evidence that supports a decision to file a SAR, change methods/procedures then put it in writing for the benefit of the department supervisor or manager. I have the necessary working experience for AML/BSA/Compliance positions, also branch Operations Management; Central Operations Management and Paralegal support within the Banking/Financial and supporting industries. I love challenges and investigation. Not opposed to long hours and working weekends to meet deadlines. All this talent and experience is in one package and did I mention perfect attendance?

Hope to hear from you soon.
