RE: Payroll/Accounting Position
In the interest of investigating the possibility of joining your company, I have enclosed my resume for your review. I am seeking a position with an organization in which I could make an important contribution in an environment that would challenge the resources of my experience.

I adapt easily to change and prefer to work with motivated, progressive individuals.
