Type your name and number according to the example you choose to follow
There are two different purposes for a cover letter. An explanation
of the two types of letters is given below:
1.) If you plan to send your resume to an employer, you
should also send a cover letter telling why you are interested in a
job with that employer. Include some information about yourself that
is not covered in your resume. At the bottom of your letter, below
where you typed your name, you will sign your name, type your
initials, and type the word enclosure. This is shown below:
Sincerely,
Mrs. LaVigne-Benore
ALB
enclosure
2.) If you plan to contact the employer by letter, but do not
want to enclose your resume, then prepare a cover letter but do not
add that you have anything enclosed. Instead of enclosing a resume,
many people choose to take it with them to an interview.

To create your cover letter:
Think of some business or situation where you might want to apply for
a job. Be creative, make up an imaginary business! Write your own
cover letter.
- Create a letterhead for yourself; like the one used on your resume or references
- Write a cover letter for a job that you cold apply for
- Make yourself sound good
- Decide whether or not you would be sending your resume with the letter
- Spell check your work
- Make sure that the font you choose is the same as the one you used for your resume and references
