There is a job opening for a pre school teaching assistant position, but I don’t know what to say in the cover letter. I’ve worked in an office for the past two years. I have no formal work experience with children, but i’ve helped raise a lot of my cousins. I’m a psychology major. Can you give me a sample letter or help me think of what to write?

The format for a cover letter is standard. Your letter should conform to acceptable business practice. The first paragraph of the letter should establish: Why you are writing. What position you are applying for. And how you found out about the position.
The second paragraph provides you the opportunity to match your unique skills and abilities with those required for the position. You need to direct the employer to your resume and then state those assets that do not appear on your resume but that qualify you for the position.
The third paragraph is your closing paragraph. It states your appreciation for the employer’s time and consideration, and when you will contact him or her to set up an appointment.
An acceptable closing is Yours truly, or Very truly yours or Sincerely
Here is an example of a good cover letter.

Dear Mr. Sample:
Enclosed is my resume in application for the Counselor Training Program that was advertised in the New York Times on Saturday, February 15, 2007.
I am a recent high school graduate with strong communication skills and a firm commitment to working with young people. As an Eagle Scout and honor student, I have always been active in community organizations. My time as a volunteer in the YMCA tutoring program was well spent, and the personal rewards gained from working with young people influenced and shaped my career goals. I feel confident that I would make an excellent candidate for your counselor-training program.
I want to thank you for your time and consideration. I will call on Wednesday, February 21, to discuss a convenient time to meet. I look forward to speaking with you.
Yours truly,
David Bartlett
