Letter of intent sample

A one-page letter of intent addressed to a school head, division office or hiring manager, stating the position you are applying for, your licence and education, the experience that fits the post, and a numbered list of the documents attached. The sample is written for a Teacher I applicant submitting to a DepEd school for ranking, which is the most searched use in the Philippines, and the AI can turn it into a letter of intent for a company job, a franchise, a scholarship or a business permit in a sentence.

Templates

  • Letter of intent (document): A letter of intent format for the Philippines for applying to a Teacher I position through DepEd ranking, addressed to the Schools Division Superintendent, with a numbered list of attached documents. Sample letter included.
  • Job application letter (document): A formal job application letter in the standard format used in India, Africa and the Philippines, with addresses, subject line and a clear request for an interview.
  • Cover letter (document): A friendly, focused cover letter that connects your experience to the role in four short paragraphs.

How to use these templates

  1. Get the exact post and the school or office name from the vacancy notice, and the name of the person it should be addressed to.
  2. Open the template and tell the AI your qualifications: "LET passer 2024, BSEd English, one year as a substitute teacher at Bagong Silang Elementary".
  3. List the attachments in the order the office asks for them, for example PDS, transcript, PRC licence, certificates of training and experience.
  4. Print it on short bond, sign it, and place it on top of your documents in the folder or combine everything into one PDF if the office takes online submissions.

Letter of intent tips

  • State the post exactly as advertised ("Teacher I, Elementary, English") and the school or division, since one office may be ranking for several.
  • Lead with the eligibility that matters: the PRC licence number and date for teaching posts, the Civil Service eligibility for other government jobs.
  • A letter of intent is shorter than a cover letter: who you are, what you want, why you qualify, what is attached. Keep it under a page.
  • Number the attachments and keep that order in the folder. Screening committees check the list against the documents.
  • For a business letter of intent, such as leasing a stall or applying for a franchise, replace the qualifications with the proposal in two or three lines and keep the rest of the shape.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a letter of intent and a cover letter?

A letter of intent announces your interest in a post or an opportunity and lists what you are submitting. A cover letter argues in more detail why you fit one specific job. Many offices in the Philippines use the two terms interchangeably.

Who do I address a DepEd letter of intent to?

The school head of the school you are applying to, or the Schools Division Superintendent when the division office collects applications. Check the division memorandum for the current cycle.

What documents go with it?

Typically the Personal Data Sheet, transcript of records, PRC licence and board rating, certificates of training, proof of experience and a performance rating if you have taught before. The division memo lists what counts.

Can I use it for a job in a company?

Yes. Tell the AI the company and role and it rewrites the body as a letter of intent for that job, keeping the attachment list.
