To Whom It May Concern,
I am eagerly applying for the position within your company. With my extensive career interest in office based work & all-round administrative skills, I feel I would be an attractive candidate for your company.
Until recently, I worked as an Administrative Assistant for Canada Pipeline Accessories Co. Ltd.

I did this by efficiently carrying out administrative duties such as data entry, accounts payable & receivables, answering phones & directing calls to the appropriate team staff members. General office duties also included, emailing, photocopying, faxing, mailing & organizing a filing system.
I am a team player & do work well in a group as well as on my own. On a personal level I am friendly, confident and always of a smart professional appearance. In addition to this I am a fast learner & pick up new tasks quite quickly.
I do hope after reading this letter & my attached resume, you find me to be a suitable person for the position. Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone, or email to arrange an interview.
