Sample Aviation
Cover Letter
In the aviation cover letter example below the candidate begins by
referencing the edition of the newspaper in which he read of the open
position before he actually begins the body of the cover letter. A
quick perusal of the cover letter will then let the employer
know
exactly what the letter references. This provides a very
professional approach.
Keep in mind that training, experience and flight hours are often
critical in the aviation industry. Therefore, as requested, the
candidate provides this information in a clear and easy to read manner
in the body of the cover letter.
This immediately
allows the employer to quickly
review the cover letter and determine if the candidate is the type of
applicant they are seeking for the open position. Other experience and
qualifications can then be referenced in the resume.

Enclosure: Resume

The final paragraph of the cover letter is especially important. This
is an opportunity to summarize your interest in the position and let
the employer know you look forward to discussing how you can contribute
to their team in a positive way.
In the above sample aviation cover letter the applicant does this well
by mentioning the company’s reputation for
excellence, indicating he has researched the company. The
applicant also lets the employer know he is definitely interested in
the position and hopes to hear from her soon regarding an interview.
Finally, don’t forget to mark the end of the cover letter
with an enclosure statement regarding the resume to make sure the
employer knows to look for it.
A good letter writing
technique can be seen in this bankers
