Harare, Zimbabwe · +263 77 123 4567 · tendai.moyo@email.co.zw

Dear Ms Chikwava,

I am applying for the Accounts Officer post advertised on Recruitment263. I am an accountant with six years in audit and financial reporting in the Zimbabwean market, and I hold an ACCA finalist standing.

In my current post at Delta Beverages I cut the month-end close from twelve days to five by automating reconciliations, and I prepare IFRS-compliant monthly accounts for a US$4M portfolio. Your advert asks for Pastel experience and bank reconciliations; both have been daily work for me since 2021.

I would welcome the chance to discuss the role.

Yours sincerely,
Tendai R. Moyo

What a good letter does

  • Names the post, and where you saw it
  • Uses the advert's own words, so the screening software finds them
  • Gives one result with a number, not a list of duties
  • Stays on one page

What gets a letter ignored

"Dear Sir or Madam" when the advert names a person. Repeating the CV line by line. Saying what you want instead of what they need.

What gets it read

The employer's name in the first line. Two things from your CV that match the advert. A close that asks for a conversation.

Two ways to get one

Write it yourself in a few minutes, or have us write it alongside your CV.

Questions

Do I need a CV on CV263 first?
The letter is written from your CV, so that is the quickest route. If you do not have one yet, it takes about ten minutes to build, and the letter then comes from it.
Can I use the same letter for every job?
You should not. The builder is quick on purpose: change the job and the employer, pick the two things that fit, and it is written again.
How long should a cover letter be?
One page, four short paragraphs. Which job, why you fit, one result with a number, and a close.
Is it free?
Writing one yourself is free, with a real PDF download. Aiming it at a specific advert is part of Standard, $3 for 30 days, and nothing renews.

Prices in US dollars. Pay with EcoCash, OneMoney or card through Paynow. Nothing renews on its own.
