Re: Role title – job posting reference

Dear [Hiring Manager name / Hiring Team],

Opening: why this role, why this company – one specific reason that shows you did the homework. Not "I am excited" – show understanding of what they are building.

Middle – proof: one or two concrete achievements that map directly to their job requirements. Numbers where possible. Connect your past work to what they need, not a resume repeat.

Middle – fit: why you and this team, at this stage, make sense for each other. Honest, specific.

Close: what you want next (an interview, a conversation) and when you are available. Thank them once, briefly.

Best regards, Your Name
