Help me write a cover letter for the job below. It must be honest, specific and in my voice.

Job title and company: {{job and company}}
Job description:
{{job description}}

My relevant experience, achievements and numbers (as accurate as you can make them):
{{my experience}}

Why I want this role or company (my real reasons): {{my reasons}}
Anything I would like to address, such as a career change or a gap: none
A sample of my own writing, so you can match my voice: none
Length and tone: about 300 words, professional but warm

Step 1: Read the job description and list the five requirements that matter most. Then match each to something from my experience. Where I have no matching experience, say so plainly. Do not stretch my history to cover it.

Step 2: Write the letter. It should:
- Open with something specific about the role or the company that connects to my real reasons, not a generic opening line.
- Use two or three of my strongest matches, each with a concrete example and result from my input.
- Address the gap or change I mentioned honestly and briefly.
- Close with a clear, modest next step.
- Avoid clichés such as "passionate", "team player", "fast learner", "dynamic" and "I am writing to apply".

Step 3: List every factual claim in the letter, with where in my input it came from, so I can confirm each one is true.

Rules: use only what I gave you. Never invent achievements, tools, numbers, qualifications or knowledge of the company. If I gave no reason for wanting the role, ask me for one instead of making one up.

4 required fields are empty and will stay as a {{placeholder}} in the copied text.

How to use it

  1. Paste the full job description and your real experience, including numbers if you have them. Specifics are what separate a good letter from a generic one.
  2. Write your reasons for wanting the role honestly, even if they are plain. The assistant can shape them but cannot supply them.
  3. Check the list of claims in step 3 and delete anything that is not strictly true. You are the one who will be asked about it in the interview.
  4. Read the letter aloud and change anything that does not sound like you. Hiring managers notice generic phrasing.

Example output

Illustrative only. Real answers depend on your input and the assistant you use.

Top requirements and matches:
1. Run customer onboarding: you led onboarding for 40 accounts at Brightly (your notes).
2. Write clear documentation: you wrote the help center articles (your notes).
3. Experience with Salesforce: no match in your notes. I will not claim it.

Letter:
Dear Ms. Alvarez,

Your posting describes onboarding as the moment customers decide whether to stay, and that matches my experience at Brightly, where I led onboarding for 40 accounts and cut the average time to first value from 21 days to 12. I did it mostly by writing the help articles I wished we had.

I have not used Salesforce, but I have run the same process in HubSpot for three years and expect to pick it up quickly.

I would be glad to talk about how I would approach your first 90 days.

Sincerely, Sam Rivera

Claims to verify: 40 accounts (your notes); 21 to 12 days (your notes); HubSpot for three years (your notes).

Tips

The honesty rules matter. A cover letter that overstates your experience creates problems in the interview and afterwards.

If you are applying to many roles, keep your experience notes in one place and change only the job description and reasons for each letter.

Do not submit the first draft. Use the step 3 list as a checklist, and have another person read it.
