Dear Ms. Chui:

Deanne Diacoju, an associate editor with your company, told me of your plans to expand your accounting department. I am enclosing a copy of my resume.  My background and interest in publishing will be of interest to you.

I am a graduate of The University of Calgary (June 1994) with a degree in accounting and economics, which emphasized taxation and managerial accounting. For the past three summers I worked as an accounting clerk with Chapters and because some of their clients are involved in publishing, I have gained some actual experience in accounting for this industry.
