Instead of saying "I am applying for blah blah".....say "I would like to talk to you about blah blah.......
Address the letter to the person who is responsible for hiring that position. If you don't know the name, then find out.
In your closing give the phone number that you can be reached at, and say that you are looking forward to hearing from them. A few days after the letter should have arrived, call and talk to the person to follow up.
Somewhere in the letter you need to talk about what you can do for them and why you would be a good fit.
If you want more feedback, post your letter and we will give you constructive criticism.
