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.

Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Home Improvement Installer
Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the Home Improvement Installer position at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience installing blinds, awnings, shutters and cabinetry across residential properties, I am confident I can deliver the precise, tidy work your customers expect.
Recently, I completed a full installation of custom shelving and cabinetry for a 12-unit townhouse development. I measured each space, cut materials to size and fixed every unit so that doors and drawers aligned perfectly. By double-checking my measurements before cutting, I avoided rework and finished the job two days ahead of schedule. The site supervisor commented on how clean and organised I kept the work areas.
I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to bring my installation skills and customer-focused approach to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your upcoming projects. I look forward to hearing from 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.
