Translate A Formal Cover Letter Into A Casual LinkedIn Message

You have a solid cover letter and you are about to paste the whole thing into a LinkedIn message, which nobody reads past the second line. This translates it into something under 100 words that sounds like a person messaging a person, not a letter pasted into a chat box.

Take the formal cover letter or email I paste below and translate it into a short, casual LinkedIn direct message suitable for reaching out to someone about an opportunity. Keep the core ask and key qualifications intact, but drop the formal letter structure entirely: no 'Dear Hiring Manager', no closing salutation, write it the way you would actually message a person. Keep it under 100 words, since long unsolicited LinkedIn messages rarely get read in full. Cover letter: {COVER_LETTER}
