Dear Exact Name of Person: (or Dear Sir or Madam if answering a blind ad.)
I would appreciate an opportunity to talk with you soon about how I could contribute to your organization through my experience in payroll administration and accounts payable administration within the unique environment of a school system.
As you will see from my resume, I have excelled since 1996 in working for the Bladen County School System in Bladenboro. From 1996-03 I administered payroll for 130 employees involved in plant operations and facilities maintenance, and I was also asked to handle a wide variety of other duties because of my excellent computer operations skills and background in purchasing and quality control. Highly proficient in computer operations, I am extremely knowledgeable of software including Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Network Electronic Mail, Multi-Mate spreadsheets. A quick learner, I offer a proven ability to rapidly master new programs.
Most recently I was promoted to Energy Accounts Specialist and currently am in charge of authorizing payment of all utility bills for all schools in Bladen County. As part of this job I manage a fuel oil program, coordinate with vendors, and maintain an extensive database for all school locations while cheerfully assisting with other projects as needed.
Before joining the Bladen County School System in 1996, I excelled in a track record of promotion with a Fortune 500 Company, where I was involved in quality control and materials ordering/control.
You would, I am sure, find me in person to be a congenial professional who prides myself on my ability to work well with people at all levels.
I hope you will call or write me soon to suggest a time when we might meet to discuss your current and future needs and how I might serve them. Thank you in advance for you time.
Sincerely yours,
Christina Zwaga Alternate last paragraph:
I hope you will welcome my call soon to arrange a brief meeting at your convenience to discuss your current and future needs and how I might serve them. Thank you in advance for your time.
