Dear Mr Smith

I apply in writing in relation to the aforementioned Financial Accountant position, as advertised on the Dayjob.com web site on the 21st October.

I am seeking the opportunity to consolidate strong academic qualifications and sound professional capabilities within a large corporate environment. Your accountancy position seems an ideal prospect, since I have previously built up a diverse and strong project management background to work for the mutual benefit of both the company and the client.

I feel that I can be asset to your firm as my experience in accounting and administrative functions spans 4 years, with the large majority of my experience as an Accounting Manager with Jackson Accountancy Services.

My expertise lies in an ability to effectively interact with clients and vendors, identify and resolve complex accounting issues and develop innovative solutions to achieve financial management objectives.

My additional abilities are listed in the enclosed CV. As you can see from my resume, my professional experience has given me the capability to provide comprehensive and thorough financial and accounting solutions.

I would appreciate the opportunity to interview for this position, as I am certain that a face-to-face meeting would more fully reveal my positive attitude and ability to meet your expectations. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely:

Human Resources Manager

Rhodes and Arnold Consulting, Inc.

6829 Glebe Avenue

Ottawa, ON K1S 9N6

Dear Human Resources Manager:

Brett Taylor, one of your senior consultants, called to inform me of the recent opening at your firm for an international economist. Brett knows that I have been seeking to move into the private sector after more than 15 years of working as an international economist for the Bank of Canada.

I am writing without the advantage of having seen a job posting, so I would be most appreciative of receiving a job posting or description. If sending me this information does not violate any of your search protocol, please fax me at home at (613) 555-3859.

As my resume indicates, I have several qualifications and credentials that would be useful to a consulting firm:

- I served on an economic advisory committee to the Treasury Board.

- I developed a new computer modelling program that has been used successfully by several economists.

- While my research keeps me abreast of factors affecting the entire world economy, my specialty is knowledge of major Asian economies, as my publications indicate.

I would be happy to provide you with references and other information you might need at any time. However, I hope that we may meet soon. Thanks for your consideration of this application.

Respectfully yours,

Luiz Suares
