Dear [Name of Hiring Manager],
Start with a short introductory sentence or two that provides a compelling hook. Emphasize why you are passionate about organization/role or what you can bring to the role. Don’t forget to indicate which role you are applying to.
More specifically, here’s what I can immediately bring to your organization:
Skill or Qualification I: Illustrate a time you exhibited this skill and have a sentence summarizing how that skill can be applied in the specific role.
Skill or Qualification II: Illustrate a time you exhibited this skill and have a sentence summarizing how that skill can be applied in the specific role.
Skill or Qualification III: Illustrate a time you exhibited this skill and have a sentence summarizing how that skill can be applied in the specific role.

I excited to work on the challenge of [something the role/company is going to address] by bringing/leveraging my experiences and skills in [skills you previously mentioned]. [Any additional relevant insight/qualification you want to offer or anything you want to share about your candidacy]. Thank you for your consideration - I look forward to further discussing how I could be a valuable addition to the team.
Sincerely,
[Name]
