How to structure it
Opening
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.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Mobile App Developer
I'm writing to apply for the Mobile App Developer role at [Company Name]. I build reliable iOS and Android applications end to end, from UI implementation through to app store release, and I'm drawn to this role because it sits squarely in the native and cross-platform work I already do day to day.
In a recent project I integrated a backend API into an existing app to support real-time data sync across devices, then ran structured testing across multiple OS versions and screen sizes to catch compatibility issues before submission to the app store. The fix reduced sync-related bug reports significantly in the following release cycle, and it's the kind of detail-focused work I enjoy: the app either works reliably on a stranger's phone or it doesn't.
[add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to] is what makes this opportunity stand out to me specifically, beyond the role description itself.
Thank you for considering my application. I've attached my resume with further detail on my technical background and project experience, and I'd welcome the chance to discuss how I could contribute to your mobile 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.
