Dear Mr Phluff

Consider these ideas in the body of your letter:

Remember, your content must contain data that provides evidence of your ability to meet the key selection criteria and should include:

• An opening statement expressing interest in the job, with details of any contact you have had with the company. 
• Statements which highlight specific qualities, abilities, qualifications and experience relevant to the job. 
• Outline any further points that are positive descriptions of your abilities. 
• Mention your interest in the organisation and your reason in applying for the job. 
• State your availability for interview and request an appointment to discuss your application. 
• For unsolicited applications - mention that you will make contact by a certain date to follow up your application. 
• A statement indicating where and how you can be reached for interview. 
• An indication that your curriculum vitae is attached.
