Speculative cover letter for a company with no advertised vacancy

There is no advert. You just want to work there. A cold letter has to earn its read, so this one opens with why this specific company, shows you have done your homework on their direction, and connects your skills to a gap they may not have posted yet. Give it the company, the role type and what you know about them, and it makes the unsolicited ask land.

Write me a speculative cover letter to a company that has not advertised a role.

Company: {COMPANY_NAME}
Type of role I am hoping to be considered for: {DESIRED_ROLE_TYPE}
Why I have chosen this specific company: {REASON_FOR_COMPANY}
What I know about their current direction, projects, or challenges: {COMPANY_INTELLIGENCE}
My most relevant skills and experience: {RELEVANT_EXPERIENCE}
Preferred contact or department to address: {CONTACT_DETAILS}

Constraints:
- Maximum {WORD_LIMIT} words
- Open by demonstrating genuine knowledge of the company, not flattery
- Make a clear case for why adding someone like me would benefit them now
- Be specific about the type of contribution I could make rather than vague availability
- Include a clear next step: suggest a brief call or meeting
- Tone: direct and confident, not desperate
