Dear Recruiter,

I am writing to express my sincere interest in the staff accountant position available within Firm $1.$

I am pleased to highlight my accomplishment in negotiating a significant quarter$-$million$-$dollar deal to secure admission to $[$University Name$],$ underscoring my determination and persuasive abilities. From the outset of my university journey, I was drawn to the field of Accounting within the School of Business due to my firm belief in its intrinsic value. While my exposure to audit coursework has been limited to one course, I am keen on expanding my understanding of real$-$world applications and actively engaging in audit processes.

Scheduled to graduate in May $2024$ with a degree in Accounting and Business Administration, alongside a concentration in Management Information Systems, totaling $150$ credits, I am eagerly preparing to embark on my professional career. My aim is to commence employment in the fall or winter of $2024,$ allowing ample time for comprehensive preparation for the CPA exam in Washington. Given recent changes to the exam, I am fully committed to early and thorough preparation to navigate potential challenges seamlessly, particularly as I transition to a new city and integrate into a new professional environment.

While I am relatively new to the field of audit, I am open to starting as an intern to demonstrate my adaptability and commitment to this domain. However, my ultimate goal is to secure a full$-$time position within Firm $1.$ I have developed a genuine fondness for the city and am eager to establish myself here professionally.

Regarding the requirement for a minimum GPA of $3\mathrm{.}0$ for the accounting major, I wish to address that while my current GPA does not meet this threshold, I am retaking one accounting class to improve my GPA. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I was unable to complete this class during its initial run. However, I am fully dedicated to rectifying this shortfall and am actively engaged in the retake process.

For further insights into my qualifications and experiences, I encourage you to review my attached resume.

Thank you for considering my application. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to discuss how my background and aspirations align with the needs of Firm $1$ in greater detail.

Sincerely,

$[$Your Name$]$
