Dear Mr./Ms. Contact,
The first paragraph connects to purpose – tell the reader why you’re contacting him/her and how you came to know of the position. This statement is to be quick & simple and catchy. A last line is to give a brief synopsis of who you are and why you want the position framed towards the audience – not you, maybe name 3 body point items.

Item one – topic sentence – use the same word that you spoke as the intention (that’s being in integrity). And a couple of sentences that tell the story of evidence. Use Emotional Word Pictures for persuasion.

The final paragraph (of usually two sentences) is a cordial exit, a request for an interview, and your contact information. (Write nearly a full-page.)
