Sample Cover Letters
When mailing out your resume to a prospective employer, you always want to include an original cover letter. The cover letter is a business letter and, at bare minimum, is used to transmit your resume (or other documents, such as transcripts) to a prospective employer.

More importantly, a cover letter is a job search and networking tool. It gives you the opportunity to introduce yourself to an employer, express your interest in a position, offer the employer insight into your personality through your writing style, and impress the employer with your communication skills.
