Can anyone give me tips on how to write a basic cover letter for an entry level position?

I am trying to send a cover letter for a job in the retail industry.

A cover letter is a summary of the reasons why you are the best candidate for the position. Its purpose is to make the reader want to read more about you in your resume and to get you an interview. It can help answer three questions that are often on the mind of the employer:

Can you do the the job?...show you have the right abilities, skills, knowledge and experience.

Will you do the job?... show you are very interested in the work itself and that you have the other attitudes necessary for success in the role and in the company.

Will you fit in?... show how your values and goals match the company's values and goals.

Good luck with your job search

Most importantly, keep it brief. Tell them what job you are applying plus anything special that you'd like them to know. If there's something lacking in your resume, make sure you include that.

Here are some free cover letters. I've also included some free resumes.
