Mr. Bill Howes,
Hiring Manager
Graybill Manufacturing, Inc.
46 Ash Street
Any Town, USA 99999
Dear Mr. Howes:
I appreciated seeing your listing on Resumel.com for an experienced budget clerk. I am looking for this very position, as I have held a similar job in the past for a company in Delaware. My resume lists my previous employer and his contact information for a reference.
I’m familiar with the work involved–preparing budgets based on previous budget figures or estimated revenue and expense, and reviewing records of sales and actual operating expenses, such as payrolls and material costs, among other duties.
I’m writing this cover letter today to ask if I might come in for a short meeting so you can learn more about me and talk over what you expect from the budget clerks who work for your firm.
If you’d like to meet please phone me at 234-567-9898. Thank you for considering my application and for reading my enclosed materials.
Sincerely,
Lionel Howland
