Make the example your own.
Too general
“I read your posting with great interest. I am motivated, a team player, and I look forward to new challenges.”
More concrete, fictional opening
“You need someone who structures customer requests and passes feedback to the product team. In my current role I document recurring questions and align proposed solutions with both teams.”
Even the more concrete version fits only when the task and the experience are actually true.
01Cover letter
What a template can do
It organizes sender, recipient, subject line, opening, main part, and closing. Above all it shows how a requirement can become an argument with evidence. The actual work stays personal: which task from the posting is central, which experience of yours fits it, and why do you want this exact role?
02Cover letter
Do not copy it sentence by sentence
A generic paragraph does not become specific just because name and company are swapped. Cut every claim you cannot explain with a situation from your background. If a sample talks about campaign planning and you do not have that experience, a different example is better than an elegant exaggeration.
03Cover letter
Read resume and cover letter together
The cover letter may deepen one experience from the resume, but it does not have to retell it. Check every paragraph: does it supply context, motivation, or a new connection to the role? If not, the space is probably better used on the resume.
KEEP WORKING
Your experience. Your arguments.
Pick one central task from the posting and a matching example from your work. That is the foundation for your first paragraph.
