Dear Mr. Johnstone:

Re: Account Manager

Your recent advertisement for an Account Manager to handle the Cape Breton area certainly caught my attention. This position interests me very much because of my desire to work in a professional environment, my knowledge of computers, and my interpersonal skills with the general public. I am also very familiar with most parts of the Island.

My five years managing a small retail business has given me the experience, skills, and qualifications you are looking for. I was responsible for all aspects of the accounting cycle with my previous employer, and my recent business training provided extensive coverage of financial and managerial accounting principles. With my thorough background in sales, I have successfully conducted business both in person and over the phone. Having recently graduated with honors from the Cape Breton Business College, I am eager to join the work force.

Being strongly motivated, I respond well to challenges, have high standards for my work, and am capable of working without supervision.

I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you to further discuss my suitability for this position. You can reach me by phone at 562-9999 to arrange for an interview.

Sincerely yours,





Brian MacArthur
