Dear Ms. Bianca,
This is in reference to the advertisement regarding the requirement for an accounting intern in Red Cross, Albuquerque. Firstly, I am an Accounting major with an academic history which reflects my efficiency and dedication towards my area of study. Secondly, as my previous work experience has had a similar job description; I feel that my already established foundation and acquired knowledge can contribute and be an asset to the company. Also, I am pretty sound and well versed with Access as it was a concentration in my higher secondary school. These are few of the reasons why I consider myself suitable for such a challenging position. Working for Red Cross will truly be an honor for me but I promise to deliver and make an impact in a way where you too will be glad to have appointed me.
Respectfully Yours,
Siranjani Sundaram
