Dear Sir or Madam,

Re: write the job title and reference here

I write in response to your job advertisement [write the job title and location of the job here] as seen on [write where you saw the job advertised here] ref: [write the job reference here].

Then tell them you are what they’re looking for and why – see example below

Then demonstrate how you are the best choice – see example below
[I can assure you that my experience, industry knowledge and track record to date make me a strong candidate for this role.]
