Insurance Underwriter Cover Letter Example

Dear Ms. Barker,

I read with great interest your ad for an Insurance Underwriter and am submitting my resume for your review and consideration. With nearly two decades of industry experience and numerous certifications like Chartered Life Underwriter Ð CLU Registered Health Underwriter Ð RHU and Chartered Property and Casualty Insurance Underwriter Ð CDCU I could hit the ground running.

In my current position as Property and Casualty Underwriter using underwriting software and screening of applicants based on set criteria I determine appropriate premiums and amounts of coverage. Risk assessment as you know is critical to the decision making process of risk versus caution. While I am familiar with risk assessment software I don’t depend solely on that resource. Through analysis of financial data and information gathering I evaluate the degree of financial risk to the company balanced with the need for premium payments. I’ve also facilitated the training of junior underwriters to improve product quality and consistency.

I believe I can contribute to the professionalism of your underwriting team resulting in greater profitability for the company. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Allen Thinnis
