Title says it all. I tried looking online, searching through forums.

Does anyone give some tips on contents for letters of interests to programs that I want to interview at but haven't received the invite?

IMO you don't want someone telling you exactly how to do this; it should be personal, genuine and authentic or it will be worthless. I doubt there is magic formula that automatically gets people interviews. That said, perhaps this will be useful to you: Follow Up With Residency Programs | Match A Resident

All I can say is what worked for me with n=1.

Salutation [Residency Coordinator(s)],

One sentence about who I am. One sentence about the purpose of this email (interest in program). One-two sentences that give specific reasons.

Thanks. Please FWD to training directors.
