Free Cover Letter Templates

Another Tool for Your Success

Cover letter templates ease the creation of a cover letter. Consider it a sample cover letter or cover letter outline geared to your success...

So, you're ready to start writing your dynamic cover letter to accompany your killer resume, are you? Great... let’s go!

First, you should understand the essential components of a cover letter, which should appear on the page in the order they are listed below:

  1. Your name and address (including email and phone)

  2. Date

  3. Name and address (where the letter is going; include specific recruiter name & title, if possible)

  4. Salutation (personalize it with a specific name)

  5. First paragraph (introduction and dynamic attention grabber)

  6. Second and third paragraphs (showcase your qualifications, show your knowledge of the company, tell how you can benefit them)

  7. Closing paragraph (refer to your resume, proactive statement about arranging an interview, say "thank you")

  8. Closing (Sincerely, Very truly yours, Best regards, etc.)

  9. Your signature (hand-written after you print the letter)

  10. Your typed name and credentials

  11. Enclosure notice (Enclosure: resume)
