Dear Whomever it May Concern:
I feel I would be a great fit for the accounts receivable position at Admiral Beverage. I have finished 2 years towards my BA in accounting. I have many years of military experience and was working in the Accounts Payable position at Easter Seals/Goodwill. I was laid off due to the Covid19. I feel this experience relates to the position at Admiral Beverage. I am a reliable hard-working employee. I always strive to go above and beyond what is expected. I would very much appreciate an interview.
Sincerely,
Laurie A. Olson
