Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Developer Advocate position at [Company]. I have [number] years of experience as a developer relations and experience, most recently at [Current company], where my focus is technical writing, public speaking, sample code.

Two results from that work:
- Wrote 30 tutorials read 400,000 times in a year; sign-ups that start from documentation rose 45%
- Built 12 sample applications; the time for a new developer to make a first API call fell from 40 minutes to 6

[One or two sentences on why this company: a product you use, a goal from the posting, a problem you can help with.] I would bring the same focus on measurable results, and hands-on experience with Python, LLM and CI/CD, which the posting asks for.

I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
