- Step one. Your letter should be formatted using a standard business layout that are usually already installed on computers that you can use. Your address should be written at the top, then followed by the date that you wrote the letter as well as the name and address of your recipient. Your letter should then begin with a formal greeting.
- Step two. The body of your letter should mention the job that you are applying for and a statement of intent. When writing the body of your letter you should make sure that you don't repeat the information that is already stated on your resume, because your prospective employers should already have a copy of this.
- Step three. The next paragraph should be a brief explanation of what makes you better than the other prospective candidates. This is because all the other candidates will usually have the same qualifications as you so you will need to highlight the experiences that set you apart.
- Step four. If you are not available to start work straight away then you should make sure that you mention when you are able to start. Thank them for their time and let them know that you appreciate their time. Sign and print your name at the bottom of your letter.
