Dear [MR/MS] [RECIPIENT’S NAME], 

As I was browsing [MediaCareers.com], I came across your Desk Editor job opening. I was delighted to see it since it's the exact kind of job I'm currently targeting. So for that reason, I didn't hesitate to send you my resume and this letter expressing my interest for the position.

I was a [news writer] at [Candor News] for [ten years]. I resigned just [a month ago] to try other challenges in my career. During my time at [Candor News], I wrote news articles for recent local events on a daily basis, and every day I complied with the deadline. For the most part, I was always the first to arrive at crime scenes and important locations due to my reliable sources in the community. I also worked closely with my Desk Editor at [Candor News] in editing my articles and in helping to decide on a catchy and engaging headline. Because of my professional relationship with [him/her], I was able to familiarize myself with the duties and responsibilities of a Desk Editor.  

My extensive experience as a [news writer] gives me the confidence that I'm ready for a Desk Editor role. So if you deem me as a worthy candidate, you can contact my phone number or email for a job interview at your most preferred time. I am well aware of the positive reputation of your company, which excites me to be a member of its workforce. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,
