 BODY OF THE LETTER
Good day!

It is a great pleasure that I am writing with regards to the vacant position in your company.
My past professor, Dr. Nora Garcia, has informed me of an opening in your company for an
accounting major who is interested in Managerial Accounting. I should like to be considered
for this position.

Moreover, I am a recent graduate of the University of Nova. The accounting courses and
training I obtained from this institution stressed up-to-date procedures, principles, and
theories that will enable me to have expertise in the job I am applying for. Additionally, for
almost five years, I have worked in the accounting department of CCP Accounting Firm. My
experience in this company gave me a lot of knowledge about the techniques and
terminology particular to this job. During this period, I also worked as a part-time
accountant at Seaside Corporation. My past experiences in these two companies will help
me adjust to your program in a short span of training period. Similarly, to have a chance to
get into a higher phase of accounting, I plan to push through with my accounting training
through a school program in the evening.

I have attached my resume, which further detailed my skills, educational background and
experiences. I hope we can set up a time to meet and discuss how my qualifications can be
a benefit to your company. You can reach me through my mobile number, 09467756902. I

Dear Ma’am Reyes,

I am writing to express my sincere interest in applying for admission to the University of Southeastern Philippines for the Bachelor of Arts in English
program for the upcoming academic year 2025-2026. As a passionate and dedicated student, I am eager to enhance my knowledge in literature,
creative writing, and communication to pursue a future career in education or publishing.

general average. My passion for English and the arts has driven me to excel in subjects such as Literature, Research, and Speech Communication.
Additionally, I have actively participated in school competitions, particularly in essay writing, debate, and campus journalism, where I served as the
editor-in-chief of our school newspaper.

Aside from my academic achievements, I have been involved in volunteer literacy programs in our community, assisting in reading and writing
tutorials for underprivileged children. I have also been an active member of the Davao Young Writers Guild, which has given me the opportunity to
collaborate with fellow aspiring writers and enhance my creative skills. These experiences have further solidified my passion for language and
storytelling.
The University of Southeastern Philippines is my top choice because of its outstanding academic programs and commitment to nurturing future
professionals in the field of education and communication. I am confident that my skills, dedication, and eagerness to learn will allow me to
contribute to the university’s community and uphold its standard of excellence.
