BASIC COVER LETTER TEMPLATE
EXAMPLE
Using a good cover
letter template, you can simply fill in the blanks. You might
want to do this until you feel entirely confident in designing
your own. All of the samples given are just a few appropriate
ways to write a good cover letter.
Your full name
Your full mailing address
Your City, state, and zip
Your Telephone number(s)
Your Email address
Today’s date
Your addressee’s
full name
Their professional title
The Organization name
Their mailing address
Their City, state and zip
Dear Mr. (full name here) or Ms. (full name here)
Open your letter
with something that will command attention—a statement that
establishes you to your reader. Briefly state which job or
position you are applying for.
The secondary
section of your letter should be highly relevant to the position
applied for. Offer one or two (brief) paragraphs that point
to why you are the best one for the job. Do NOT simply summarize
your resume!
Your closing paragraph
is critical to your success! You need to initiate action!
Do this by explaining what action you will take, such as:
I will call you at such and such a time to arrange an interview.
If not being so forward, end with: I look forward to your
response. If you leave the calling in their hands always
state: Please contact me to set up a good time for an interview
and make certain they have your contact information at hand.
Always finish
your letter with:
Sincerely yours,
or Yours truly, or similar
Your signature
written by hand
Your name (typewritten)
Enclosure (you
can type in “resume” after Enclosure, or leave blank)
> Home > Resume
