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 Electronics Technician
I am applying for the Electronics Technician role at [Company Name]. My background in installing, testing and repairing electronic systems, combined with a careful approach to calibration and safety, makes me a strong fit for your team.
In my current role, I diagnosed an intermittent fault on a packaging line that had caused repeated stoppages. By working through the circuit diagram and testing each sensor and power supply with a multimeter and oscilloscope, I traced the issue to a loose terminal and a failing capacitor. I repaired both, then ran the line through a full cycle test. The stoppages stopped, and the shift supervisor asked me to document the fix so the team could use it as a reference.
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 want to bring my fault-finding and calibration skills to a team that takes that kind of work seriously.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume, which outlines my qualifications and experience in more detail. I look forward to the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your maintenance and installation 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.
