Dear Mr. Norman:
Subject: EDP Specialist Position (Reference No. 103-G)
My varied work experience in accounting and payroll services, coupled with my accounting degree, has prepared me for the position of EDP specialist that you advertised in the March 9 New York Times.
In addition to taking required courses in accounting and management information systems as part of my accounting major at New York University, I also took an elective course in EDP auditing and control. The training I received in this course in applications, software, systems, and service-center records would enable me to immediately become a productive member of your EDP consulting staff.
My college training has been supplemented by an internship in a large accounting firm. In addition, my two and one-half years of experience as a payroll specialist for the city of New York have given me firsthand knowledge of the operation and needs of nonprofit agencies. This experience should help me to contribute to your large consulting practice with governmental agencies.
After you have reviewed my enclosed resume, I would appreciate having the opportunity to discuss with you why I believe I have the right qualifications and personality to serve you and your clients. I can be reached by phone after 3 p.m. daily.
Sincerely,
Aurelia Gomez

RECOMMENDATION FOR SHEILA J. HORTON
I am pleased to recommend Sheila Horton for the position of assistant advertising manager with your company. I was Miss Horton’s immediate supervisor when she worked for Wheaton as an advertising copywriter from September 2009 until March 201_ and am providing this confidential information at her request.
Miss Horton’s writing skills are superior. During her employment here, she composed the narrative for all our print ads, sales letters, and radio spots. We credit much of our marketing success to her efforts. One of her sales letters won second place in the statewide Eddy Award competition in 2002. Our public relations department routinely asked her to edit our annual report for clarity, organization, and readability.
Her position required that she interact extensively with higher management, outside suppliers, and two subordinates. In her dealing with management and outside personnel, she was always tactful, articulate, and cooperative. Although she had some problems in supervising her two assistants (a secretary and a copy editor), I’m confident she will improve in this area with more experience. She always availed herself of every opportunity to attend work-related seminars on a variety of management topics, and she was an active member of several professional associations.
I have a very high regard for Miss Horton and recommend her to you. You will find that she is an intelligent, experienced, and motivated manager.
