Re: Content Writer, finance audience

Dear Ms. Oyelaran,

Finance teams read a lot of content that sounds like it was written by someone who has never closed a month. The Content Writer opening at Prairiegate Payroll asks for the opposite: writing that controllers trust. That is what I have been doing at Sablecrest Software for the past two years.

I start every piece by talking to someone who does the job. For our accounts payable guide I interviewed three controllers and our head of product before writing a word. That guide now ranks in the top three on Google for nine target keywords and brings in about 80 demo requests a quarter. Across the blog, organic traffic has grown from 14,000 to 43,000 monthly sessions in 18 months on a plan of six new articles a month plus refreshes.

I also write the case studies our sales team uses in late-stage deals. I have written 12 of them from interviews with controllers and CFOs, and sales now attaches one to about 60% of late-stage opportunities. Your posting mentions a customer story program starting this year, and I would love to help build it.

Before Sablecrest I wrote for eight B2B clients at Lakeshore Digital, in software, logistics and healthcare, and met agency deadlines on 97% of assignments while juggling four to six clients. That taught me to learn a new subject quickly and to write to a brief without losing the voice.

I have 4 years of B2B writing experience and a portfolio of published work, which I am glad to share along with two pieces I would pitch for your blog.

Best regards,

Rachel Kim

How this letter works

What each part of the letter above does, and how to do the same in yours.

The opening

It opens with an opinion about finance content that the hiring manager probably shares, then turns it into the job description. For a writing role, the first sentence is the writing sample, so it has to make a point.

Whom to address

Address the head of content or content marketing manager; most SaaS companies list them on LinkedIn or as authors on their own blog. Reading a few of their posts first also tells you what they value.

Requirements matched to proof

The posting asks forWrite credible content for a specialist audience
The letter showsInterviews with controllers before every piece; the accounts payable guide built that way.

The letter showsBlog traffic from 14,000 to 43,000 monthly sessions in 18 months; top-3 rankings for nine keywords.
The posting asks forWrite customer stories for sales
The letter shows12 case studies, attached to about 60% of late-stage deals.

Length

Five paragraphs inside the usual 250 to 400 words. A content lead will judge the rhythm as much as the facts, so sentences vary in length and nothing is padded.

This letter: 264 words.

The closing

It offers a portfolio and two pitches for their blog, which turns the next step into a conversation about their content. "Best regards" is the usual register in US tech marketing.

Mistakes to avoid in this letter

  1. A generic opening

    "I am a passionate writer" is the sentence every content lead skips. Open with a point about their audience or their content.

  2. No proof of results

    Writing quality is judged from the portfolio; the letter should carry what the writing achieved: traffic, rankings, leads, deals.

  3. Typos

    A single error in a writer's letter is disqualifying. Read it aloud and check every name and number.

Questions about this cover letter

Should a content writer's cover letter include links to samples?
Yes: two or three links that match the employer's audience, placed near the end or in the header. More than that and nobody opens them.
How creative should a content writer's cover letter be?
Write in a voice that fits the employer's own content. For B2B, clear and confident beats clever; for consumer brands, you can show more personality.
What if my best work was ghostwritten?
Say so and describe it without naming the client if you are not allowed to. Offer to share it privately during the interview.
