LETTER 6-12: FOLLOW-UP LETTER—BOOKKEEPER

Ms. Julia Klemperer, Comptroller
Howard Industries
Suite 300
67 Houston Street
Spring City, TX 09876
Dear Ms. Klemperer:

Thank you for the opportunity to meet you and interview for the Bookkeeper
position. Hearing you recount the growth your company has enjoyed, I am
certain that your own hard work and commitment are the roots of your success.
As your bookkeeper, I will bring the same dedication to the fulfillment of your
firm’s accounting responsibilities.

I am adept at handling all aspects of your accounts payable, accounts
receivable, payroll, and payroll taxes. My five years of experience in
these areas means that you can rely on me for skill and accuracy.
Unlike others in my field, I am well versed in handling a payroll with
diverse commissions/bonus structures. This reduces or eliminates the
potential for problems that arise when payment errors aggravate your
sales representatives.

Furthermore, my computer expertise (Peachtree, MAS90, and
Quickbooks for MAC) allows me to contribute immediately, without
taking valuable company time for training.
I would very much like to join your firm. If you require any additional information
before making your decision, please let me know. I would be pleased to visit
your office again for another meeting or provide further references, if you wish.
Thank you for considering me.
Sincerely,

Barton Hennessey
(555) 766-4321
