Data Entry Cover Letter Sample

A cover letter for a data entry employee should stress accuracy and efficiency.

Knowledge of computer software is also important, and the letter writer mentions this in the second paragraph.

The applicant also states readiness to come to the company for an interview and to participate in any further selection testing, demonstrating confidence in his/her abilities.

These may include a test to measure typing speed, assessments of the applicant’s ability to accurately distinguish between similar numbers, or other procedures.

Re: Data Entry Clerk Ad

Dear Mr. Gluer,
I respond with enthusiasm to your help wanted ad for a data entry clerk.

I have been employed as a data entry clerk for the past five years and have been punctilious about keeping our company’s database current, entering all corrections and changes as soon as they were supplied.

I compared the database to the original documents for accuracy, making corrections when needed, and assisted other clerks in locating mistakes. Our clients were also pleased with my high level of precision and rapid turnaround time. I attach my resume for your perusal.

I am an accurate, quick typist (110 wpm) and am very reliable.

I consistently meet or exceed production goals and have the patience for detailed work. My familiarity with MS Word, Excel, and Gemini, coupled with my ability to learn other office systems quickly make me a formidable candidate for this position.
I work well with others, am very organized, and follow security procedures for confidentiality of information.

I would be happy to come to the office for an interview in person and to participate in any selection testing that your company uses. Please contact me to arrange a suitable time.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Arthur Carter
