Dear Sir or Madam,

Your ad in the Sunday Seattle Post Intelligencer motivated me to forward my resume for your review and consideration. I am very interested in the Front Office Manager position at your medical clinic. Some of my relevant experience is listed below.

• Front Office Management Experience:
  Background includes more than 4 years of dealing with patients in-person and by-phone. In addition, I have managed large file systems, organized a database, and processed accounts receivable information.

• Telecommunication Skills:
  My current position involves answering and directing calls from 8 incoming lines to over 20 University of Washington extensions and voicemail boxes.

• Computing & Typing Skills:
  I type at 45 words per minute. Processing information by computer has been required in each customer service position I have held. I have used MSWorks, MSWord, and an in-house database.

My career objective is to expand my skills in ways that will help me participate in the administration of quality health care. I look forward to discussing how my experience and abilities match your requirements. Please contact me at the address above or by phone at (555) 867-5309.
