En caso que no sepas el nombre, Dear Sir/Madam te podrán ayudar.
Comenta donde viste el aviso de trabajo.
Di a que trabajo estás postulando. Puedes usar oraciones como: I'm writing in response to the job advertisement for the position of … / I'm writing in regard to a job position as...
Escribe quien eres, y habla sobre tu educación e historial de trabajos.
Menciona tus responsabilidades actuales y cual es tu situación presente.
Diles por qué eres perfecto para el trabajo y cuenta tus habilidades. ¿Qué puedes hacer por la compañía a la que postulas?

Termina tu correo o carta con oraciones como: I look forward to hearing from you soon or I hope to hear from you soon/ I would appreciate a reply form you soon.
en inglés tenemos varias formas de decir 'Atte,' Estas pueden ser: Yours Sincerely, si es que conoces a la persona pero el trato debe ser formal, yours faithfully en caso que no conozcas a la persona y tengas que ser forma. Best regards or Best wishes son expresiones formales pero más joviales.
