How to structure it

Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
Middle

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 Banking Relationship Manager
I am writing to apply for the Banking Relationship Manager role at [Company Name]. With a background in retail and commercial banking, I have managed client portfolios and guided clients through lending, deposit and transactional banking decisions, always with a focus on compliance and long-term relationships.
In my current role, I look after a portfolio of small business clients. One client was expanding and needed a more flexible cash flow solution. I analysed their financials, prepared a loan proposal that met credit policy, and worked with the credit team to structure an overdraft facility. The client stayed with the bank and later referred two other businesses to me.
I am keen to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am particularly interested in how your team supports clients and would welcome the chance to contribute.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and look forward to discussing how I can support your clients and your business.
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.
