The example
Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the Graduate Trainee, Finance role advertised on your website. Your advert asks for accuracy, strong Excel skills and teamwork. During my three-month attachment in accounts payable I filed supplier invoices, updated payment records and prepared weekly payment schedules in Excel. I enjoy working with a team and meeting deadlines. I have attached my CV and would welcome an interview. Yours faithfully, Wanjiru Kamau.
Why it works
- It names the job and where it was seen.
- It mirrors three things the advert asks for.
- It gives specific evidence from real experience.
- It is short and ends clearly.
Make it yours
