Dear HR Manager,

I have the pleasure to submit my resume to apply for a challenging position in your esteemed company...
Through my 10 years of experience with a leading multinational telecommunication company, I was fortunate to establish a solid experience and knowledge in Financial operations, Financial reporting, taxation, as well as regulatory affairs and Revenue Assurance.
This experience is coupled with concrete leadership skills through managing a talented team of technical and finance experts which required a continuous coaching, on-the-job training, performance management and mentoring from my side. Especially during my position as a revenue assurance which is an extremely unique and strategic function for any telecommunication business.
On the other hand, this long experience has granted me a huge exposure on a world-class financial application; Oracle Financial.
Hope that my profile will be meeting your requirements and I am full of confidence that my wide spectrum of knowledge and skills will be adding value and contributing to the success of your business...
Please find attached my resume. Looking forward to have a meeting at your convenience to provide further information and clarifications...

Sincerely
Anas M. Shouman
