A structured letter with example content specific to this role. Replace the bracketed placeholders and adjust the details to the job you're actually applying for.
How to structure it
Opening
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 Corporate Services Manager
I am writing to apply for the Corporate Services Manager role at [Company Name]. With a background leading finance, human resources and administrative functions, I can keep day to day operations running smoothly while giving senior leaders reliable information for decisions.
In my current role, I inherited a corporate services function with fragmented reporting and inconsistent compliance records. I rebuilt the monthly reporting pack, introduced a shared compliance calendar, and worked with HR and facilities to streamline onboarding and contractor management. Reporting turnaround moved from ten days to five, and the next internal audit closed with no repeat findings. I also led a review of supplier contracts that reduced duplicated spending across three business units.
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 bring my corporate services experience to an organisation where sound systems and strong teams are treated as part of delivering the core service.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how my experience in budgeting, compliance and people leadership can support [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.
