Dear Sir
On (date) I read an ad in the (name of newspaper) for the post of a Junior Accountant by your company (name, location). I am enclosing my resume for your reference and I am sure, you will find my background and experience directly applicable to your accounting needs.
I would like to inform you that I have worked in the capacity of an accountant in various companies (name them). In my last job, I developed an efficient accounting information system for a small manufacturer for which I performed a cost analysis and constructed a budget using an IBM Mainframe and Macintosh Personal Computer. I would like to inform that I am good at the basic accounting principles and extremely accurate in all my transactions.
I would like you to consider my application and in case you need to contact me, kindly do so at the address and phone number below.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours faithfully,
