Dear Hiring Committee:

I want to apply for the job of Finance and Accounting Analyst. I am an international students and I graduated from George Mason University. I am a hard worker and positive person, and I believe that I would make a good addition to your accountant. My major is accounting and I studied accounting for almost 6 years. And I worked as an accountant for about 2 years. I found this job on the website www.indeed.com. The location of this job is Fort George G. Meade and I like this city very much.

I will graduate from George Mason University and I will have the master degree in accounting. I think the study in accounting could give me enough theoretical knowledge to do the daily work as an accountant. I learned many courses about accounting such as financial accounting, management accounting, auditing and taxation. And I worked in China Construction Bank in China for two years. This experience helps me know this position of accountant deeply. My education experience and my work experience enhance my ability to deal with difficult and complicated affairs in daily work. For example, I found a wrong data from over 1,000 numbers with my experience and I created a very effective record process when I was working in China Construction Bank. I think I can work better in the future. I know the work in China and the principles in the US. So I will benefit from these two different kind of accounting and integrate the advantages of these two to work well in the future company.

Furthermore, I am very interested in this job and I will show my enthusiasm to work in this company. Finally, I am very pleasure to have your attention to read my application.

Regards,

Shixiao Chen
