A structured letter with example content specific to this role. Replace the bracketed placeholders and adjust the details to the job you're actually applying for.
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 Tow Truck Driver
I am writing to apply for the Tow Truck Driver role at [Company Name]. With a current HR licence, a Tow Truck Driver Authority and hands-on experience in breakdown recovery, I can represent your business safely and professionally on the road.
In my most recent driving role, I was called to a multi-vehicle incident on a wet highway. I assessed the scene, set up traffic control, and recovered a sedan from a guardrail using a hydraulic winch before loading it onto my tilt tray. The police and tow coordinator praised my calm approach, and I cleared the lane faster than expected, helping reduce congestion for other motorists.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to contribute to a team that takes safety and customer care seriously.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how my recovery skills and licences can support your operations. I am available for an interview at your convenience.
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.
