Example letter

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Python Developer role. I have used Python for three years, first for coursework and then to build web apps and automation scripts that saved real people real time.

In my internship at a logistics startup, I wrote a Python script with pandas that merged daily delivery reports from three sources; the operations team stopped spending two hours a day on it by hand. For my final-year project I built a complaint-tracking portal in Django with PostgreSQL, including role-based logins and email alerts, and deployed it on a Linux server. I write readable code, use virtual environments and Git, and add tests with pytest.

Your role involves building Django services and automating internal workflows, which is the work I enjoy most. I would welcome a conversation about how I can help your team.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
