Postal Sorting Officer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last five years sorting mail and running the barcode and scanning workflow at the sortation hub, where accuracy matters every shift. In that role we handle hundreds of bags a day, and I’ve seen how a small mix-up can slow the whole line. I recently helped reduce misreads on the belt by 15 per cent after adjusting the routes for the manual sorters and tagging problem items with clearer labels. I’m comfortable with the core tasks you need, from verifying registered articles to operating the sorting and barcode equipment. I’ve kept tight records for dispatch, supported underpaid and express mail processes, and I’ve got a practical eye for details that keeps incoming mail moving. I’m familiar with documenting issues and following up on complaints without making things personal. There was a shift where a backlog built up as a batch of registered items arrived with incomplete labels. I coordinated with the team, rechecked the incoming mail, and re-labelled items where required. Within a day we cleared the backlog and the express stream returned to on-time targets. The incident reinforced the value of practical checks and calm communication. I’m keen to bring the same steady approach to [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat to discuss how I can fit into the team and help keep mail processing accurate and reliable. I’m happy to provide further examples from my time at [Previous Company]. Kind regards, [Your Name]
