Example letter

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Content Writer role. I write clear, well-researched content for real readers, and over the past year I have published more than 40 articles for a personal finance blog and two small businesses.

For the personal finance blog, I wrote beginner guides on topics such as PPF, SIPs and income tax slabs; three of my articles reached the first page of Google for their main keywords, and together they bring about 6,000 visits a month. For a local coaching institute, I wrote course pages and email newsletters that helped increase demo-class sign-ups. I research carefully, follow style guides, meet deadlines, and I am comfortable with WordPress and basic SEO tools.

Your team creates content for a growing fintech audience, which fits the topics I already write about. I have attached links to my samples, and I would be glad to discuss how I can contribute.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
