\textbf{Application for \textit{exact role title}}

\vspace{0.8em}
Dear \textit{name or Hiring Team},

% Paragraph 1: specific reason for this employer/role. Use a verified first-party
% hook only. State the strongest direct match without repeating the summary.
\textit{Employer-specific motivation and role thesis.}

% Paragraph 2: one or two connected examples already supported by canonical IDs
% and present in the resume. Explain scope, method and relevance. Do not invent a
% metric or imply ownership of a company-wide platform.
\textit{Evidence paragraph.}

% Optional paragraph 3: explain a transition, location/work-authorization point,
% or motivation that materially helps the decision. Delete if it adds no value.
\textit{Optional context paragraph.}

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how this experience could support \textit{specific team or outcome}.

Kind regards,

\vspace{1.5em}
Dennis Thiessen
