Good Day,

I think I am a perfect fit for this job. My most recent employer is transitioning to a new owner who is not in need of me. I am diligent and committed to providing accurate work. I have good communication skills and can also be flexible with my schedule. You can see from my resume and other details that I am 65 but I am hoping to work for another 7 years and would love to find something that I can settle into for that time. I did do a brief stint with a staffing company in 1981-1982, it was in Hartford CT the company name was Adia. I had gone in to find temporary work and they ended up hiring me in office. Thank you for reviewing my application. I do hope to hear back from you.

Thank You,

Heather
