How to structure it

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 Ski Patroller
I am writing to apply for the Ski Patroller role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in alpine safety, avalanche control and emergency response, I am confident I can help keep your guests and staff safe across the mountain.
In my most recent season, I was first on scene to a skier with a suspected fractured wrist on a busy blue run. I assessed the injury, applied a splint, and packaged the patient for toboggan transport. Along with another patroller, we had the patient at the first aid room within 12 minutes of the call, and I completed the incident report before the end of the day. I also ran morning snowpack tests and recorded results that informed the day's avalanche risk rating.
I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to bring my snow safety and patient care skills to a resort that takes both guest experience and risk management seriously.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your patrol team this season.
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.
