Dear Name
The opening paragraph should state why you are writing and why you are interested in the position and/or organization. If you are writing a letter of application, you should name the position for which you are applying and tell the employer how you became aware of it. A letter of inquiry should provide evidence of your career-mindedness; it helps to refer to specific job functions, if not titles. If you were referred to the employer by a current employee of the organization, by your mentor or other contact, this is the best place to mention that person's name and to point out that he or she suggested you write.
The middle paragraph is where you draw attention to your resume/CV and highlight specific skills or knowledge relevant to the potential employer. Present your motives for seeking employment with this specific lab./employer/organization and cite achievements and qualifications related to the position desired. If you have qualification that is not noted in your resume, this would be a good opportunity to discuss them.
The closing paragraph states what you will do next (such as calling to arrange an interview at the employer's convenience), or what you would like the recipient of the letter to do next. An assertive statement explaining what you plan to do and what you hope the employer will do is harder to ignore than a vague request for consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Signature
Your typed name
