Letter of Interest
[Your Name] [Your Email] · [Your Phone] [Date]
Dear [Hiring Manager Name / "Hiring Team"],
I'm writing to express interest in potential opportunities at [Company Name], even though I didn't see a specific posting that matches my background.
Why [Company Name]
[Something specific about the company that genuinely interests you — shows you're not sending this everywhere.]
What I bring
[1-2 sentences on your relevant background/skills — treat this like a compressed cover letter.]
I've attached my resume and would welcome the chance to talk about how I might contribute, even informally.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
*A letter of interest works best when it's clearly researched and specific to the company — a generic version of this reads exactly like the mass-blast it is.*

This hr template includes Why [Company Name], What I bring. Fill in the [bracketed] placeholders, edit any clause online, then download a PDF — the docstoc.io footer stays on every export.
Is this legal advice?
No. Employment documents sit on top of a mix of federal, state, and sometimes city labor law — at-will employment rules, required notices, and what you can and can't put in writing all vary. Have an employment attorney or HR professional confirm this fits your jurisdiction before you use it.
