RE: Office Administrative Assistant

Dear Hiring Manager:

I am interested in the position of Office Administrative Assistant . With over 20 years of experience working within an Administrative role, I believe that I would be a great addition to your team. Most recently, I was working as the Head Administrative Assistant to the president of Baldanza Insurance Brokers Ltd. In this role, I was responsible for the organization of the office, all administrative duties and consistent client care. I performed reception duties, office administration and financial management responsibilities within the office. These duties included general reception duties such as answering phone inquiries, directing phone calls, replying to general information requests and greeting clients or suppliers into the company office. Furthermore, I provided general office administration duties by preparing reports, memos and any additional documentation as requested by the President of the company. I sorted mail, faxes and deliveries, provided secretarial and administrative support to executive-level management or staff. The financial management duties I conducted included preparing invoices and financial statements by coding and filing financial material according to established records management procedures. I also assisted with financial reports, end-of-month reconciliation duties and accounts payable & receivable.

My excellent communication, organization and intrapersonal skills would be ideal for this position given the need to support a team and solid customer base. Given the opportunity to become a member of your team I am sure that I would be able to meet all of your expectations and enhance your organization. I welcome an opportunity to meet with you to further discuss how I can best meet your needs. I can be reached at 416-746- 2393 or at 416-***-****. E-mail address – acugzo@r.postjobfree.com. Thank you in advance. Sincerely,

Lina Nasso
