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 Irrigation Designer
I'm applying for the Irrigation Designer role at [Company Name]. With a design background spanning farm and landscape systems, I can take a client's water source, soil and crop plan and turn it into a buildable set of drawings, specifications and cost estimates.
In my current work I design drip and pivot systems for horticultural blocks, which means sizing mains and pump sets so pressure holds to the last emitter. One project I'm proud of was a mixed orchard and pasture property where the original layout starved the top block. I re-ran the hydraulics, split the block into two zones with a booster, and gave the grower a plan that irrigated the whole area within their existing allocation. The installer built it off my drawings without a variation, and the grower now runs the top block on the same water he was already licensed to take.
I'd like to work with [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'd welcome the chance to talk through how I'd approach your next project.
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.
