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 Dairy Farm Worker
I am writing to apply for the Dairy Farm Worker role with [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in milking, herd health and farm maintenance, I am ready to contribute from day one.
In my most recent role I milked a 350-cow herd twice daily, monitored for mastitis and lameness, and kept shed hygiene to a standard that passed farm assurance audits without corrective actions. I also operated a tractor and ATV for feeding out, and used DairyComp 305 to record herd treatments and calving events.
I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to].
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your dairy operation.
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.
