Cover Letter for Accountants
In today's competitive world, you need to make sure that you accept the appropriate salary offered to you. It is important to be aware about the salary that you can earn considering your work experience and expertise. When you are looking for jobs you may receive job offers from several companies. You need to negotiate the salary offered to you, if you find that it is less as compared to salary offered according to the general salary standards. In such situations, it is important to send a cover letter for salary negotiation before joining. The cover letter should be written on a positive note stating that you are interested in the particular job opening, but would like the employer to reconsider the salary offered to you. You may even provide details about the salary offered to you by other companies. It is important to take care that you do not create a wrong impression when you are negotiating your salary.
Following are the samples of cover letter for salary negotiation:

Mr. Ed C. Kenner,
HR Head,
Global Financial Inc,
2132 Gateway Road,
New Berlin, WI 53151.
Dear Mr. Kenner,
From our meeting and phone conversations, I got the privilege to know about your company in detail. I am very excited by the prospect of working for Global Financial Inc. Your finance and accounting team is among the most impressive, I have met during my job search. Your company ethics are clean and your work-force efficient.
I am eager to accept your offer and begin working for Global Financial Inc. However, I want to tell you that I have received another offer of employment from Wilson Accounts Inc., NY. Everything at your company holds a greater opportunity for me, and my career, but the Wilson Accounts Inc has offered a salary $5000/annum higher than your offer.
Instead of accepting their offer immediately, I wanted to reaffirm my interests in Global Financial Inc. and express my hope that we can come to terms on this matter and begin our happy association as soon as possible.
I eagerly await your response.
Sincerely,
David D. Jordan,
Senior Student, Accounts,
ISC, WI.
