About 

Dear Recruiting Manager,

 

I am a professional with extensive experience in accounting, audit, financial reporting and analysis.  I am results-oriented with a strong track record of implementing initiatives that improve financial and departmental operations.  In addition, I am fully bilingual in Spanish and I have worked extensively in finance and audit projects in Latin American countries.

 

I believe my expertise would be a value to a company looking for effective leadership and direction. The enclosed resume summarizes my experience and other information you will find helpful in understanding my background.

 

If you are seeking leadership from someone with my qualifications, experience and track record, I would welcome a personal interview.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Fernando Chapa
