Dear Mr. Hanks:

I am writing to apply for the Client Account Coordinator客户账户协调员, which was advertised May 4th with the Career Services Center at Florida State University. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your review. I believe that I have the training, experience and qualities that you are looking for.

According to the advertisement, your position requires excellent communication skills, computer literacy计算机知识, and a B.S. degree in Finance. My studies have included courses in computer science, management information systems, speech communications, and business writing. I understand the position also requires a candidate who is team and detail-oriented, works well under pressure, and is able to deal with people in departments throughout the firm. These are skills I developed both in my course work and in my recent internship at Liberty Mutual, Inc. in Orlando, Florida.

Your job description suggests that our relationship could be mutually beneficial. I am confident that I can perform the job effectively, and I am excited about the idea of working for a dynamic, nationally recognized investment management firm.

I have a good knowledge of English as I completed a course at college and I am also fluent in Italian having lived in Rome for the summer in 2023.

Please note that my current manager has agreed to write me a reference. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully
