How to structure it

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 Turf Grower
I am applying for the Turf Grower position at [Company Name]. Turf production is the work I know best, and I am comfortable across the whole cycle, from preparing ground and managing irrigation through to cutting, lifting and dispatching rolls to order.
In my current role I run the irrigation and nutrition program across the turf blocks, checking soil moisture and adjusting schedules as the weather shifts so growth stays even across a paddock. When patchy discolouration started spreading along one edge of a block that was only weeks off harvest, I pulled soil and tissue samples, worked through the likely causes with the farm manager, and had the affected area treated before it reached the rest of the cut. I also keep the harvesters, mowers and irrigation lines serviced so we are not losing cutting time when orders are stacked up.
The reason I want to work with [Company Name] in particular is [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 walk the farm with you and talk through how I work.
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.
