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 Travel Agency Manager
I am writing to apply for the Travel Agency Manager position at [Company Name]. With a background in travel operations and a track record of leading teams to deliver seamless client experiences, I am confident I can contribute to your agency's success.

I also streamlined the rostering system to cover peak periods without overstaffing, reducing overtime costs and keeping service levels high.
I am particularly drawn to [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 look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experience in travel agency management can benefit your 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.
