Date Dear Ms./Mr. CONTACT:

The first paragraph tells why you’re contacting the person, then either mentions your connection with that person or tells where you read about the job. It also quickly states who you are. Next it wows them with your sincere, researched knowledge of their company. The goal: demonstrating that you are a worthy applicant, and enticing them to read further.

The second and optional third paragraph tell more about yourself, particularly why you’re an ideal match for the job by summarizing why you’re what they’re looking for. You may also clarify anything unclear on your resume.

The last paragraph is your goodbye: you thank the reader for his or her time. Include that you look forward to their reply or give them a time when you’ll be getting in contact by phone.

Sincerely,
