Sample Cover Letter For Accounting Jobs in Kenya

By Dorcas Karuana,
Cover letters are a way of introducing yourself to a potential employer. This is not an easy task as one has to be brief, but unique. You have to grab an employer’s attention so it also must be compelling.

Therefore, writing a Cover letter is an art of summing up experience, skills and passion in an engaging letter that captures the reader’s attention.

Every cover letter should be tailor made for the job you are applying for.

Accountant cover letters should show the skills that make you stand out for that role.

Below is a sample cover letter for accountant jobs.
