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 Seafood Process Worker
I am applying for the Seafood Process Worker role at [Company Name]. I have hands-on experience on chilled seafood lines, from filleting and trimming through to packing and clean-down, and I work well in the cold, fast-paced conditions this job demands.
In my current role, I work on a chilled filleting line where overnight catch has to be portioned, weighed and packed before the morning dispatch. I fillet flathead and snapper to order, check each fillet for bones and defects, and load the vacuum packer while keeping batch labels and use-by dates correct. When a delivery of prawns arrived warmer than it should have, I stopped the line, isolated the batch and alerted the supervisor, which kept questionable product out of the retail run. I also sharpen my own knives each morning and help clean the band saw and benches at the end of shift.
I would like to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my knife skills, food safety habits and reliability to a team that takes pride in sending fresh, well-presented seafood to customers.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can contribute to your processing 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.
