First paragraph - The opening statement should set out why you're writing the letter. Begin by stating the position you're applying for, where you saw it advertised and when you're available to start.
Use a generic salutation, such as Dear Hiring Manager, Dear Recruiting Manager or Dear Human Resources Professional. (Avoid To Whom It May Concern; it is antiquated.) Another option is to write Greetings, which is somewhat informal but polite.
Cover Letter Tips to Help Wow a Hiring Manager Don't rehash your resume. Keep your cover letter brief. Tailor your cover letter to each job. Show off your past accomplishments. Address the hiring manager personally. Use keywords from the job description. Quantify your impact with numbers and examples.

I am confident that my marketing skills and proven sales results make me a perfect match for the position.
Address the letter to the identified person listed on the vacancy announcement whenever possible; otherwise, use “Dear Members of the Selection Committee,” or “Dear Hiring Team.”
Some of the best opening lines for a formal letter include: ``I am writing to inform you...'' ``I am writing in regards to...'' ``I am writing to express my interest in...'' ``I am writing to request...'' ``I am writing to discuss...'' ``I am writing to follow up on...'' ``I am writing to confirm...''
How can I write a killer first opening sentence in a cover letter? Opening/My interest in the position (``Here's why this job sounds exciting to me!'') Why I am a good fit for the job (``Here's something that makes me qualified that you don't see on my resume'' and/or ``Here's what I can offer you'')
Introduction. Introduce yourself and explain how you found the advertised job. You can mention the job title, and reference number if there is one. If you're asking about any job openings and not applying to a vacancy, tell them what sort of job you're looking for.
Have a strong opening statement that makes clear why you want the job and what you bring to the table. Be succinct — a hiring manager should be able to read your letter at a glance. Share an accomplishment that shows you can address the challenges the employer is facing.
