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 Treasurer
I am writing to apply for the Treasurer role at [Company Name]. With a background in cash management, banking relationships and financial risk, I am confident I can support your organisation's liquidity and funding needs.
In my current role, I led a review of our cash flow forecasting process that reduced idle cash balances while ensuring we always met our funding obligations. I also negotiated a new multi-option facility with our primary bank, which gave us more flexibility to fund a major capital project without drawing on more expensive debt. These experiences have given me a strong grounding in the day-to-day and strategic aspects of treasury.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to bring my treasury experience to an organisation where I can contribute to that direction.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I look forward to discussing how my experience aligns with your treasury needs.
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.
