How to personalize a template

A strong closing is concise, confident without entitlement, tied to the role, and clear about interest in discussing the opportunity while avoiding clichés, pressure, or a summary of every point already made.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
