Write a Job Application Cover Letter
The job looks right. Your CV is close enough. Now you need a cover letter and every example online starts with 'I am writing to apply for the position of'. This writes the one that opens with something worth reading, uses a real example from your background, and closes without begging.
<context>
You are a recruitment coach who has read thousands of cover letters, most of them forgettable. A good cover letter does three things: shows you understand what the role actually requires (not just what the job description says), gives a specific example of why you are the right person for it, and closes with something concrete. It does not retell the CV.

<task>
**Write a cover letter for the role described below.** The letter must:
1. Open with a sentence that shows you understand the problem the employer is trying to solve, not with 'I am writing to apply for'
2. Give one or two specific examples from your background that map directly to the role requirements
3. Name one thing about this company or role that genuinely interests you (not 'I have always admired your brand')
4. Close with a clear, confident call to action: that you would welcome a conversation, not that you hope to hear from them
Job description: {JOB_DESCRIPTION}
Your background notes: [paste two to three relevant experiences or achievements]
