RE: Senior Accountant Position
Dear Ms. Jones:
I was referred to you by Paul Richardson, whom I met yesterday at the Smith & Smith
Financial Planning seminar. Mr. Richardson shared with me that Company123 is in the
process of reviewing applicants for a new Senior Accountant position. I have enclosed a
summary of my qualifications for your review.
My experience in financial management of large and small companies, has helped me
develop effective methods of evaluating potential business growth, meeting and often
surpassing goals. At the request of a colleague, I recently volunteered to analyze the
ledgers of a local nonprofit organization in order to identify effective cost-cutting
strategies. Taking on challenges such as this is one way I enjoy honing my foundational
skills at the same time as learning new ways of approaching difficult situations.
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this job opening. I will call
next week to arrange for an interview. In the meantime, if you have any questions or if
you would like references, please do not hesitate to call or email me. I look forward to
speaking with you soon.
Very truly yours,
John Doe
