Dear Management,
In today's society one should expect integrity, reliability, honesty and ethics to be the standard in the workforce community, but seldom is it true. Fortunately for you, this is what I will bring with me if hired. I have a wide variety of knowledge in the Accounts Payable department and would very much like the opportunity to show what I could bring to your company and how I would be a great asset as an employee.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this and my resume that is included. I look forward to hearing from you,
Jackie Bastian
