Application letters need to get to the point immediately. Specify y in the first paragraph the job for which you are applying. Then move on to say what qualifies you for that job. You want to sound confident and positive without seeming to exaggerate your accomplishments. Thus your focus should be strictly on facts. Try to leave out adjectives that might seem boastful. Somewhere in the letter, you need to say something about the company that speaks to why you wish to work there. What is it about the company that matches something special about you?
