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.

Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Mortgage Broker
I'm writing to apply for the Mortgage Broker position at [Company Name]. I bring hands-on experience assessing borrower serviceability, comparing products across lender panels and guiding clients through the loan process from application to settlement, and I'm looking for a role where I can keep building that client base within a compliant, well-supported broking environment.
In a recent case, I worked with a first home buyer whose income structure made serviceability assessment more complex than a standard PAYG application. I worked through the numbers with several lenders, found one whose policy suited the client's situation, and kept the client informed at each stage of underwriting. The loan settled on time and the client has since referred two family members.
[Company Name] stands out to me because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. That's the kind of environment where I do my best work for clients and build long-term referral relationships.
Thank you for considering my application. I've attached my resume, which sets out my experience with loan assessment, lender coordination and compliance in more detail, and I'd welcome the chance to discuss the role further.
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.
