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.

Re: Application for Garage Door Technician
I am applying for the Garage Door Technician role with [Company Name]. I install, service and repair residential and light commercial doors and their openers, and I am used to working unsupervised from the first job of the day through to the last, with the customer sign-off done properly at the end of each one.
In my current role I look after a service run of around forty doors a month across the northern suburbs. A townhouse complex we had fitted started producing repeat callbacks for doors that reversed on the way down, so I worked through the whole complex one door at a time: cleaned and realigned the tracks, re-tensioned springs that had been set unevenly, and replaced two failing safety sensors. The callbacks stopped, and the body corporate asked us to take on their annual servicing as well.
I would like to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for a technician role where the installation and service work is done to a consistent standard and where the person on site is trusted to make the call.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached and I am happy to talk through my experience, or to come in and demonstrate a service and safety reverse check on one of your doors, at a time that suits you.
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.
