**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
