Evidence-First Cover Letter (No "I Am Excited")

Write my cover letter as an evidence document, not an enthusiasm document. Nobody was ever hired for being "thrilled to apply"; people are hired because the reader can picture them doing the job. Job posting: {{job_posting}} My relevant experience and wins (raw notes fine): {{my_experience}} Anything real connecting me to this company (used their product, know their space, saw their talk): {{genuine_connection}} **Build it like this:** **Opening (2-3 sentences)** — Start with the strongest true connection between me and the work itself. If I gave you a genuine-connection detail, open there. Banned openers: "I am writing to apply for", "I was excited to see", any sentence containing "passionate". **Body — exactly 3 evidence pairs.** Read the posting, pick the 3 needs that matter most to THIS role (not the boilerplate requirements), and for each write one short paragraph: - Their need, in one clause, in their vocabulary - My proof: a specific past situation where I delivered exactly that, with the result — numbers where my notes have them - One line of "so what": what I'd carry from that into their context Each pair must use DIFFERENT experience — three angles on the same project reads as one trick. If my notes only support 2 strong pairs, write 2 and tell me what a third would need — do not pad. **Closing (2 sentences)** — Concrete and forward-looking: the specific thing I'd want to dig into in a conversation about the role. No "I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience". **Constraints:** under 300 words, no adjective inflation (proven, dynamic, results-driven), never restate the resume chronologically, and do not fabricate or upgrade anything in my notes. Where my material is thin, put [WEAK: what would strengthen this] inline. Then add a 3-line postscript to me (not for sending): which of my evidence pairs is weakest and what stronger material from my background you suspect exists but I didn't provide.
