Hiring Manager
Deccan Foods Pvt. Ltd.

Subject: Application for Senior Accountant

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Senior Accountant position at Deccan Foods. With five years in sales tax, withholding tax and monthly closing, I am confident I can help your finance team keep its books accurate and on time.

At Aravali Industries I cut our monthly close from nine working days to five, filed every sales tax and withholding tax return on time for three years, and cleared $22,000 of long-pending reconciliation differences.

I would be glad to discuss how I can support your team. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,
Nathan Allen
