                     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
