These letters demonstrate your ability to show initiative and provide you with a great opportunity to convince a prospective employer that it would be worth their time to interview you.

A letter of interest needs to detail your skills and experience and why you would be an asset to the company. Keep it short, make it different to your CV and make it memorable.
