I am excited to have finally made the decision to apply for a VA position with your company. You see, I've actually been a Indeed/LinkedIn lurker of Peachtree VA's postings for quite sometime. Today I am taking the plunge and making my pitch about why and how I will add value to both the company and clients...

Hiring manager at Peachtree VA: Hello Jo, we are happy to hear from you and would like to move forward with the process by scheduling a conversation to discuss your potential future with the company. Better late than never!
