Dear Mr. Smith:
Your advertisement in the June 15 Baltimore Sunday Sun for an Accounting Manager has come to my attention. I am currently an experienced Senior Audit Associate and would like to be considered for the position.
As the accompanying resume indicates, I have four and a half years of experience in public accounting. I have developed an expertise in auditing the low-income housing tax credit industry. My current position as a Senior Associate has allowed me to lead and train staff in conducting partnership audits. Therefore, I am confident that I will fit into your company with minimum training.
In addition to my work experience, I will be eligible to sit for my CPA exam in early 2009. I am presently taking the remainder of credits to qualify to sit for the exam.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications for the Accounting Manager position with you during a personal interview. If an interview is possible, please contact me during the day at 123-456-7890 or after 5:00 at 987-654-3210.
Sincerely,
Karin L. Boughan
