Middle
One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.
Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.

Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Aged Care Coordinator
I am applying for the Aged Care Coordinator role at [Company Name]. With experience across community and residential aged care, I can assess needs, build care plans and coordinate providers so older people receive consistent support that reflects their goals.
In a previous coordinator role, I managed a caseload of around 40 older clients across home care packages. I reviewed care plans with clients and families, reworked rosters with service providers to close unplanned gaps, and kept records audit ready for Aged Care Quality Standards reviews. When a client's needs changed, I brought the right providers together and adjusted services quickly, which helped them stay at home safely for longer.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to contribute to an organisation that takes both client choice and quality compliance seriously, and I would bring a calm, organised approach to coordinating care across a multidisciplinary team.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how my care coordination experience can support your clients and team.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
