Dear Mr. (or Ms.) Last Name,
Start with a statement that is a grabber – something that establishes a connection with the reader – a question, a quote, why you are the best person for the job. A brief reference to the job you are applying for should also be included in this first paragraph.
This mid-section will contain one or two short paragraphs that make relevant points about your qualifications and how they connect with the position you are applying for and may incorporate bullets or column format. THIS IS NOT A SUMMARY OF YOUR RESUME.
This last paragraph should explain what you will do next (e.g. call the employer) or ask the reader to take a specific step (e.g. contact you to set up an interview). End by thanking the reader for his/her attention.
Sincerely yours,
Your Signature
Your name (typed)
