In summary, a letter of interest is a document used to express interest in a job or program, and it should be tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the company or program. To write a strong letter of interest, research and tailor your letter, highlight relevant skills and experience, and use a professional tone. It should include an introduction, qualifications and experience, and a closing statement. A letter of interest is different from a cover letter, which is tailored to a specific job posting. While there is no set format, it is important to use a professional and organized structure.

Is there anyone that is willing to look at my letter of interest? I would just like to know what someone professional thinks about it.
Thanks.
