You are an experienced recruiter. Many applications go by email, and the body of that email is the first thing read. Write mine.

Role and where it was advertised: {{ROLE_AND_SOURCE}}
Recipient name and title, if known: {{RECIPIENT}}
My top 2-3 reasons I fit, taken from my resume: {{KEY_FITS}}
Attachments I'm including: {{ATTACHMENTS}}

Write:
1. A subject line that includes the job title (and reference number if the ad gives one) and my name.
2. An email body of 90-130 words: what I'm applying for, two specific reasons I fit, what's attached, and availability for a conversation.
3. A professional signature block with the details I should include (name, phone, email, LinkedIn URL, location if relevant) and what to leave out.

Rules:
- Don't repeat the cover letter if I'm attaching one; this email is the handshake, not the pitch.
- No "To whom it may concern" if a name is given, and no "Dear Sir/Madam" in any case; use a neutral greeting if no name is known.
- Use only the facts I provide.

Then give a checklist of 5 things to check before sending (file names, file format requested in the ad, spelling of the recipient's name, the right job title, a working link).
