Dear Ms. Barnes:
A mutual friend, Sharon Greisse, suggested I contact you concerning potential
accounting openings within your organization.
After raising a family of four, I returned to college and completed my
undergraduate degree in accounting in 2002. Since then I have been an
accounting supervisor with Trasco Industries in Huntsville. Unfortunately the
cutback in the automotive parts industry has affected our profitability, and the
company will be consolidating its operations in Dallas in June. Since I wish to
remain in Alabama, I declined the company’s offer to relocate to Texas.
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in the near future to discuss
any opportunities that may exist within your organization or to discuss other
leads of which you may be aware.
I’ll call your office next week to follow up. Thank you in advance for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
Margaret Carson
