How to structure it
Opening
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 Insurance Investigator
I am applying for the Insurance Investigator role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience reviewing claims, interviewing claimants and preparing investigation reports, I can help your team verify claims fairly and detect fraud without losing sight of the claimant's circumstances.
In my current role, I investigated a group of motor accident claims where repair invoices and medical certificates did not match the reported incident. I interviewed each claimant, cross-checked provider statements against financial records, and identified inconsistencies that led to three claims being withdrawn and one referred to a specialist fraud unit. My investigation reports were used directly in the claim decisions and required no rework.
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 drawn to the way your organisation handles complex claims, and I would welcome the chance to contribute to a team that takes both fraud control and claimant fairness seriously.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached and provides further detail on my experience and qualifications. I look forward to discussing how I can support your claims investigation 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.
