Dear Mr. Johnson,
I’m a highly motivated candidate to take the island caretaker job in Australia that is being promoted by your domain. I think I have the skills to carry out the responsibilities you mentioned in your website.
First, I have already had some outdoor jobs in my country giving me the work experience you are looking for this job. Also I have worked with many projects that are addressed to protect natural resources in my country. In these jobs, I have traveled to remote areas where I have learned to adapt to difficult living situations. Finally, I am also good at taking pictures. I am a photographer who loves working with nature, even when I know it is not easy.
In addition, I consider myself a quick learner. I have never written a blog, but I could learn how to do it. I am also a responsible and easygoing person. Last year I worked as a supervisor in a clothes store and I got the best employee award. I also value teamwork and I have the quality to work with others. Most importantly, I am a very curious person who tries to search adventure in daily life.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Samantha Strong

In my opinion, Mr. Johnson shouldn't hire Samantha, because she mention that she didn't have experience with blogs, so Mr. Johnson can find another person, who has more experience and can do the work better than Samantha. I think that she should get more experience in jobs and then apply for a vacancy. Also, she should correct her cover letter and remove the part "I have never written a blog".
