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 Garment Cutter
I am applying for the Garment Cutter role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience cutting fabric to pattern specifications across sample, small-run and production work, I can step into your cutting room and keep accurate pieces moving to the machinists.
In my current role, I cut for a weekly range of sample garments and short production runs, which meant reading cutting tickets, spreading fabric to the right ply depth and nesting patterns to make the best use of each roll. On one run with a limited length of a delicate fabric, I reworked the marker and adjusted the lay to fit all required pieces, which kept the sample deadline on track and left enough cloth for a second colourway.
I want to work with [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to bring my cutting accuracy and fabric-saving habits to a team that takes both craft and production pace seriously.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how my cutting experience fits your production needs.
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.
