An underwriting assistant is the one who helps the underwriter in planning, research, documentation, and all other tasks. Underwriting assistant is a clerical position wherein the person has to follow the instructions of his senior. Thus, a cover letter for an underwriting assistant should be able to highlight as to how the applicant can contribute in the clerical tasks associated with the position of an underwriter.
How to Write an Underwriting Assistant Cover Letter

Dear Mr. Hernandez,
I am writing this application to introduce myself and help you to learn about my qualifications as an underwriting assistant. I have been interested to work at Gomez Associates and I will not miss an opportunity at any time in the future.
I am currently working at Michael and Murray Associates as an underwriting assistant. I have completed five years of service here. Prior to this job, I had been working in the same position at Douglas Associates that was closed down due to a conflict amongst the partners. This experience has helped me to learn a lot about the functions of an underwriter and the operations of an insurance firm. I am well versed with the systems used for research and recording insurance contracts.
I would be available to join your organization at one month's notice if there is an opening. Kindly contact me at 521-783-6094 or send an e-mail to Robert.jpeterson@freemail.com if there is a suitable job opening in future. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Robert J. Peterson
