How to structure it

Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
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.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Airport Manager
I am writing to apply for the Airport Manager position at [Company Name]. With extensive experience in terminal and airside operations, safety compliance, and commercial contract management, I am confident in my ability to keep flights, terminals and tenants moving safely and on time.

I also negotiated a key lease agreement with a major airline, securing favourable terms that supported both our commercial performance and operational needs.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am eager to contribute to your team and support your operational goals.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached for your review, and I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to [Company Name].
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.
