Dear Mr. Name
My solid experience as a project metrics analyst for two of Lockheed Martin contractors has allowed me to gain strong analytical skills that can be effectively utilized by your organization. After years of on the job training with minimal supervision in a time intensive environment, I am now prepared to move into project and program management.
With a master's in business administration and extensive technical skills I, can also offer:
Ability to work cross functionally as evident by skill sets in project analysis, human resource management, staff training, purchasing, and technical accounting.
An enterprising attitude resulting in the successful development of a fault profile metric report for a software development program, despite an unfamiliarity with the initial program.
Organizational and interpersonal capabilities that led to a profitable team effort between a software consultant and myself for the efficient conversion of a 3000 employee multi state payroll from ADP to in-house.
Additional capabilities are listed in the enclosed resume. In an effort to discuss the matter further, I will be calling your office within the next few days to see if we might set up a time to meet.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at the numbers listed above. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,

Dear [name of contact]

In the first paragraph you should briefly explain who you are and why you are writing to them. Name the position you are applying for and where you saw the position advertised. While it’s fine to start this paragraph with ‘I’, try not to start every paragraph in the same way.

Explain why you think you are qualified for the position, emphasising how your previous experience and transferable skills make you ideal for the role. Mention your most important qualifications (for example ‘I have just graduated from a Bachelor of Business Administration’) and what you think you would bring to the company. If the job advertisement lists selection criteria, this is the place to say how your skills and experience meet the criteria they’re looking for.

In the third paragraph, explain why you would like to work for this particular company, showing that you have done research regarding the position.

Lastly, politely request that they consider your application, conveying your appreciation for their time.

Yours sincerely
