Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Chanelle D. Blakely and I am interested in the position available at your company.

institute and organize corporate culture. Some of my best qualities include poise, enthusiasm, and responsibility. My work
ethic includes a foundation of professionalism, managerial experience, great interpersonal skills and the ability to evaluate
situations and enact solutions. I excel at repairing broken accounting departments and pride myself on my ability to create a
culture of efficient document workflow.
I have strong computer skills including proficiency in MS Office. I have single handedly converted three companies from
manual recordkeeping to computerized accounting. My other skills include 90-95 WPM, excellent telephone etiquette and
impeccable customer service.
My solution-oriented approach, ensures completion of high volumes of work with accuracy and efficiency within a group or
independently. I possess stellar organization and written communication skills. By prioritizing for myself and members of
any team that I am a part of, meeting deadlines is never an insurmountable task. I look forward to demonstrating my
