To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity to join AKJP as a Sales Associate, as
advertised on your Instagram page. As a creative fashion enthusiast with a background in accounting and a
diverse skill set, I can contribute to the growth and success of AKJP.

I have a proven track record of cultivating strong relationships, a pivotal skill in the fashion industry for
networking, sourcing materials, and expanding the client base. Due to family circumstances, I still need to
finish my BCom in Accounting Science degree. However, it has equipped me with a strong foundation in
financial analysis, enabling me to make data-driven decisions and manage budgets effectively. My ability
to identify trends from raw data and predict market changes will assist AKJP in staying ahead of the curve
and creating fashion products that resonate with the target audience. I am highly technologically
proficient, vital in the modern fashion industry for streamlining operations, utilising e-commerce, and
leveraging social media for brand visibility. My creative problem-solving skills and innovative mindset will
help me tackle challenges in the fashion industry, whether in design, sourcing, or marketing. Being highly
organised is critical to efficiently managing fashion production and logistics complexities. My experience in
community management will contribute to engaging with customers and building a loyal following for your
brand.

My accounting background will benefit your fashion business in several ways. I can ensure the financial
stability and growth of the company by budgeting effectively and making data-driven decisions. My
understanding of financial risk management will help me navigate economic challenges. I can negotiate
effectively with suppliers to secure favourable terms and pricing.

Regarding my current role as Operations Manager at OKJA, the skills I have developed are transferable
and will help AKJP. My experience managing operations at OKJA equips me to oversee supply chain
processes effectively. I have honed my skills in client relations, which are crucial in ensuring customer
satisfaction and retention in the fashion industry. I am proficient in overseeing projects essential to AKJP
for launching new collections and managing timelines.

I am eager to discuss how my skills and experience align with AKJP’s needs.
Please find my resume attached for your reference.

Sincerely,
Daniel Reid
