As you can see from my enclosed Resumé, my experience as an accounting clerk, as well as my ability to thoroughly complete any task, make me a strong candidate for this position.

Please note that the company (Lyman Mercantile, Inc.) that is referred to on my Resumé is no longer in business, as that the owner (Melvin Smith, who is my father) has retired from the grocery business withou a buyer for the corporation.

You can reach Melvin at (801) 737-2290, here in Ogden, Utah. You can verify his ownership of the company by calling the Greater Bridger Valley Chamber of Commerce (of which the Lyman Mercantile was a member) at (307) 787-6738.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my credentials with you at a mutualy convenient time. Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully Yours,
David B. Smith
