Write your letter to match the job description, say how you can do what the job description states and mention any relevant experience. BBC skills wise - http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/english - give you templates for formal letters. Make sure you get the ending correct! Sincerely for someone you have mamed like Jo, Mrs Brown etc and Faithfully for Dear Sir etc... If you are ending the letter with Yours then the sincerely/faithfully doesnt need a capital letter.

Make sure you check your grammar, punctuation and spelling, if you struggle with that then get someone else to check it for you.
