LETTER 5-55: FINANCIAL SERVICES—STUDENT—RECENT M.B.A.
Ms. Sherry Sites
Steckler Financial, Inc.
1357 Morning Street
Winston, NC 09876

Dear Ms. Sites:
Ralph Enwood suggested I contact you regarding the current opening in
your brokerage division. With my M.B.A. firmly in hand this coming July
and several years of real world experience, I would welcome the
opportunity to contribute to the success your firm already enjoys.
I have enclosed my resume to supply specific information on my
background. Allow me to provide you with the highlights:
As a manager of finance for a discount brokerage group, I
gained a profound understanding of the constant demands a
consumer customer base makes on traders and support staff --
and how to meet these demands.
I earned my Series 7 and Series 63 licenses while working full-
time -- a sound illustration of my work ethic and ability to
complete simultaneous, challenging projects.
I have been regularly praised by my superiors and professors
for my written and verbal communication skills. I work well
with others and enjoy assuming additional responsibility.

I would very much like to meet with you to explore your operations and
the possibility of employment. The opportunity to join a winning team
such as yours—and add to its success—is one I would relish.
Sincerely,

Rita Lenghorn
