Subject: Application for the role of Lead Frontend Engineer

Dear Ms Ritu Malhotra,

I'm writing to apply for the Lead Frontend Engineer role at Zentro Technologies, which I saw on LinkedIn. I'm a frontend developer with 6 years' experience building React and TypeScript apps, most recently as a Senior Developer at Brightline Software.

I led the rebuild of our customer dashboard in Next.js, cutting load time by 40% and support tickets by a fifth, and set up the design system four product teams now use.

I've followed Zentro's work on accessible fintech and would love to help bring it to more users.

I'd welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to Zentro Technologies. My resume is attached, and I'm available for a conversation at your convenience.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Neha Kulkarni

What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a short letter sent with your resume when you apply for a job. It explains which role you're applying for, why you're a good fit and why you want to work there, in your own words.

A good cover letter is specific: it names the role and the company and gives one or two real results, rather than repeating your resume.

Cover letter format

A cover letter has your name and contact details at the top, the date, the hiring manager and company, a subject line with the role, a greeting, three or four short paragraphs (who you are, a result you're proud of, why this company, and a closing line), and your name.

Keep it under a page, about 200–300 words, and address it to a person by name if you can find one.

Good to know

Is a cover letter necessary?

Not always, but a short, specific one helps you stand out, especially for roles with many applicants or when the posting asks for one.

How long should a cover letter be?

Under one page, about 200–300 words in three or four short paragraphs.

Who should I address a cover letter to?

The hiring manager by name if you can find it on the posting or LinkedIn; otherwise "Dear Hiring Manager".

What should I write in a cover letter?

The role you're applying for, who you are, one or two results you're proud of, why you want this job, and a polite close.

Can I use the same cover letter for every job?

Change at least the company, role and why-this-company lines for each application. Generic letters are easy to spot.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. The cover letter is made in your browser and its details never leave your device.
