Dear Mr/Mrs ______________,

Immediately explain why your background makes you the best-qualified candidate for the position you are applying for. Keep the first paragraph short and to the point.

Detail what you could contribute to the company/organization. Show how your qualifications will benefit the firm. Remember to keep this letter short. Employers rarely read a cover letter over one page.

Describe your interest in the corporation. State your knowledge about the organization (as a result of your research). You should present yourself as enthusiastic and eager to work for the company.

In closing, you should request an interview. Include your phone number and hours when you can be reached. You may want to mention that you will follow up with a phone call to confirm receipt of your resume.

Respectfully,

(your name handwritten)
