A structured letter with example content specific to this role. Replace the bracketed placeholders and adjust the details to the job you're actually applying for.
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 Pricing Analyst
I am writing to apply for the Pricing Analyst role at [Company Name]. With a background in commercial finance and a focus on using data to set and adjust prices, I am confident I can contribute to your pricing team from the start.
In my current role, I built a scenario model that compared three pricing options for a new product line. I pulled together cost, demand and competitor data, cleaned it, and modelled the margin and volume outcomes for each option. Leadership used the model to set the launch price, and after launch I monitored sell-through and flagged where a mid-cycle adjustment was warranted. The process is now the standard approach for new product pricing in my team.
What draws me to [Company Name] is [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to work somewhere that treats pricing as a commercial lever rather than a back-office function, and your approach to [specific area] suggests that is how you operate.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how my experience could support your pricing decisions.
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.
