Example data analyst cover letter

Dear Hiring Manager, I turn messy data into decisions people act on, and I'd like to do that as a Data Analyst at Northwind. At my current company I noticed that mobile users were abandoning checkout at the delivery step. I pulled the funnel in SQL, confirmed it with session data, and presented it with a one-page Power BI view. The product team simplified the step and conversion rose 12% in the next quarter. I'm particularly drawn to Northwind because of its focus on [a specific product, value or project]. I would welcome the chance to discuss how I could help your team. Kind regards, Alex Morgan
