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.

Re: Application for Medical Administrator
I am writing to apply for the Medical Administrator role at [Company Name]. With several years managing the operations, budgets and compliance side of general practice and community health, I am confident I can help your service run smoothly and keep clinicians focused on patient care.
In my current role, I led the practice through accreditation against the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards. I worked closely with the clinical team to review policies, fix gaps in infection control and medication management, and prepare evidence for the assessors. We passed with no major findings, and the process is now embedded as a regular review cycle rather than a last-minute scramble. I also managed the roster for 25 administrative and clinical support staff, reducing reliance on agency cover by building a stable team and cross-training reception and nursing assistants.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my operational and compliance experience to a service that values both clinical excellence and sustainable administration.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how my experience in medical administration, budgeting and accreditation can support your team.
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.
