Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day, my name is Ahsan Syahrir. Thank you for investing your time in reading my letter. Why is it
an investment? Well for one, finding the right person to work for your company is not easy. You would
want someone who has the skills and experiences required. You want someone who actually wants to
do more; someone who believes that to get more, you need to give more. These kinds of people will
deliver better results. And more than anything, you want someone who has good characters; someone
who will do the right thing regardless the circumstances, and won’t break under tough situations.
Sir/Madam, it is an honor for me to introduce myself to you. I am 33 years old; I have 11 years of
experience in Finance/Accounting department of Shipping, Forwarder/Logistic, Pharmaceutical and
General Trading Companies, and am currently looking for a job in a company that values integrity and
encourages the balance of work and personal life to their employees. I am currently helping PT. DHL
Supply Chain Indonesia (DSC Indonesia), a multinational logistic company from Germany to budget
and monitor their finance in their Finance Operation - Consumer Division, as Finance Manager -
Consumer. Before I joined DHL, I helped Amway Indonesia in their Financial Planning division.
I have experience in SAP & Hyperion and I produce various reports for Operation Department in a
timely basis, ranging from fixed asset management to capital expenditure budgeting & reconciliation. I
helped them to manage cost & analyze their financial reports.
