Original Content:

I need advice on which letter is better. The issue is, my friend took 2 years off from accounting, and wanted to fill it with a casual letter, but the proffesional one seems better, can someone please give me some advice? or even compose a letter between the 2? I just really need help!

One's proffesional and boring, and doesn't cover the last 2 years off from work
The seconds casual, and doesn't fully explain all strengths but shows character.

If someone writes an exceptional one combining the 2, I'd also be willing to pay $5 VIA paypal. If someone can go even further and improve the reusme and cover letter together to syncronize, I'd pay $10
