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 Warehouse Manager
I am writing to apply for the Warehouse Manager role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience supervising warehouse staff, managing inventory in a WMS and keeping dispatch on schedule, I am ready to run a site that values accuracy and safety.
In my current role as warehouse supervisor, I led a stocktake that uncovered a recurring discrepancy on a fast-moving line. After adjusting put-away locations and increasing cycle counts, we cut picking errors across a 30-person shift and brought dispatch back on schedule. I also reorganised picking routes to reduce order turnaround from five days to three, which helped the site meet its daily targets without adding staff.
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 keen to bring my experience in inventory control and team leadership to a site that takes pride in getting stock out accurately and on time.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to the warehouse team at [Company Name].
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.
