How do I start a cover letter?

How do I compose a cover letter?

• I want to start again in Hemet, CA but my cover letter has me stumped because I don’t have a good reason to relocate other than work at a particular job(s). What good can I say about Hemet in my cover letter? The last thing I want to do is come off as a fly by night job seeker. The closure of the Hilton Worldwide hotel in Hemet indicates that the local tourism industry in hurting. Also, the closure of the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Norco indicates that the military community is dwindling. Worst of all, massive foreclosures in Hemet indicate that the city will be in a deep recession for some time to come.

• Answer:

  I don't think you need to justify moving back to Hemet. Google some letters online so you know the format. If you really want to mention returning to Hemet in your cover letter, you can say something like: I will be returning to Hemet and would really like to be considered for this position with your company. I have the experience that will help me be an asset to your company... You don't need to go into detail... and you shouldn't.
