Hi guys,
Could you guys please give me some feedback on my cover letter? (TBH I've never written one before).
I tried following the online guides as best I could. I have a tendency to waffle and hopefully have not done too much.
Any corrections, additions, subtractions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Mr BLOGS
I am writing to you in the hope that you may a vacant position now or in the near future for an air traffic service assistant (ATSA/ATCA).
From a young age I have always held a passion for aviation, and very much hope to one day to become a fully qualified ATCO. To gain a better insight into ATC I recently attended an assistant controller’s course with ASTAC Ltd and was awarded a certificate of successful completion. I also spent a week living on Gloucestershire airport, with access to the ATC tower.
I plan on going back in the next couple of months to do a week of work experience in the ATC tower, mainly shadowing the assistants and ATCO so that I can see the theory I learnt on my course used in practice.
I currently hold 9 GCSE’s ranging from grade B – C including maths, science and english. I am also a very quick learner with tea making skills second to none.
At the moment my current day job is working as an optical dispenser. I have a range of skills and experience attained from working in this field over the last 7 years.
Due to the nature of my previous career; working with patients from all walks of life my temperament is excellent and I work very well under high loads of pressure.
Please find enclosed a copy of my curriculum vitae for you to view.
If you have any questions at all, please get in contact with me.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards,
[MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]
