1) In the first sentence, state why you are excited about the job and why you are the right fit.
2) Gain their attention – be specific, get to the point and don’t have a generic opening.
3) Know the person whom you are writing to and get away with “To Whom It May Concern”.
4) Know your value – talk to a few people in the company and industry, tell a story of how you saw a problem and how you solved it and how you can do the same for them.
