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 Regulatory Affairs Manager
I am applying for the Regulatory Affairs Manager role with [Company Name]. With a background preparing TGA and APVMA submissions and coordinating compliance advice across scientific and commercial teams, I can help keep your product portfolio lawful, safe and available in the Australian market.
In my current role, I prepared and lodged registration dossiers for a portfolio of prescription medicines, bringing together manufacturing, clinical and labelling data from three departments. When the TGA raised questions on one submission, I coordinated the responses, tracked every commitment in Veeva Vault and kept the review moving, which helped the product reach the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods without a major rework cycle.
I want 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 would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your regulatory strategy and submission pipeline.
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.
