Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with great interest that I am applying for the position of the Engineering Section Manager as was recently advertised by your organization in one of the prominent mainstream newspapers, The Moon.
I am a graduate from the National University of Ontahmano, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia in the field of Electronic Engineering, majoring in Instrument. Currently, I am attached to Fishball Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd since 2002 and presently hold a designation as a Senior Product and Application Engineer based in our main facility located in Sepang Hi-Tech Industrial Zone.
As a Senior Product and Application Engineer, I am responsible to carry out test and characterization of micro-sensitive sensors designed for office and consumer products such as laser and bubble-jet printers, camera, plotters and so on to ensure the products meet the technical requirements and specifications. Much of my daily work involved liaising with various different departments including the Research and Development (R&D), Materials, Procurement, Production and so on. While the challenges associated in dealing with many different groups can sometimes be overwhelming, I have benefited hugely from the exposure of communicating with different parties and handling many different issues and problems of various magnitudes.
As a result of my commendable interpersonal skill, I have been entrusted by my General Manager to undertake an extra role in dealing with key customers which are scattered around in many different regions, namely Vancouver and San Diego in United States, Tokyo in Japan, Shanghai in China, as well as Rembau in Malaysia. At times, I am required to travel to different parts of the world to meet new and potential customers, together with the senior management team.
Additionally, upon successful testing on newly developed prototypes, I will be tasked to oversee the development and completion of the associated white papers to be published in our official product specification materials. I presently supervise 2 junior Engineers, where part of my duties are to ensure a smooth transfer of knowledge and exposure to them, as well as fostering a competent workmanship within the team. Being a natural leader, I cultivate a healthy work culture within the team, and instill the values of integrity, prompt, professionalism, balance and passion towards work.
My complete CV or resume that underlines the details of my engineering credentials and accomplishments is attached for your perusal. I am very much thankful for your time reviewing my profile, and if there is a ground of opportunity for us to discuss further about a possible partnership, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
Thank you and best regards.
Yours truly,
Butang bin Sindarella

Hmm, seems long winded to me. Not to nitpick, but a cover letter is not supposed to be used as an interview aversion tool. Butang just told his entire working life history in a cover letter; so what is there left for the interview process?
I am from the school of thought that believes a cover letter’s function is two-fold:
To entice the potential employer to check out the resume
To peak the potential employer’s curiosity enough that he or she will arrange an interview with the prospective employee
In addition to the points above, the tone of the cover letter is dated (old fashioned) and long winded.
Some things I’d change:
1) The intro paragraph should open with a bang! Maybe something like:
2) Keep the current duties section simple and straight to the point. It needn’t be more than two paragraphs.
3) The closing paragraph is again long winded and the request for an interview is somewhat weak. Ask for the interview! It shows that you are proactive and very keen on getting the job.
4) “Yours faithfully” would be a better valediction since Butang doesn’t know the recipient by name (note that the opening salutation is “Dear Sir/Madam”)
Thanks for the cover letter example! I’m sure a lot of jobseekers will find this post (and the comments) useful
