Dear Mr. Evans,

With reference to your advertisement in [Newspaper XYZ] this week, I would like to apply for the Bookkeeper position at [Company XYZ] in Houston, TX. I had the pleasure of speaking with [Dennis Mayer] and he suggested that I contact you about the job opening. As an experienced bookkeeper with a proven track record, I am confident that my extra set of hands can successfully fill the gap of unfilled accounting positions.

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Ian Patel] and I was pleased when hearing about the job opportunity. I know that [Company XYZ] is recognized for sustainability practices in its manufacturing and involvement in environmental sponsorship programs. The prospect of performing accounting operations for such a progressive company is what makes me want to apply.

In my previous role at [Office XYZ], I was responsible for calculating and preparing client invoices and performing daily business transactions using QuickBooks software. During my five-year tenure as a bookkeeper, I managed to reduce [Office XYZ]’s supply bills by 31% through price research and supplier negotiations. I received recognition for these results, and was praised for my communication skills and attention to details (see references). Since several months I moved to Houston, and therefore seeking a new but similar working environment.

As of [Date], I will be available for a 40-hour work week. I’ve enclosed my resume for your review and would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss my candidacy and the day-to-day job responsibilities. For additional information, you can directly contact me at [Phone number]. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

Ian Patel
