Cover Letter
A cover letter introduces you, explains your purpose for writing,

highlights a few of your experiences or skills, and requests an opportunity to meet personally with the potential employer.
What to Include in Your Letter
As with all cover letters, the body of the letter is divided into three sections:
Introduction, which details why the applicant is writing.
Body, which discusses relevant qualifications.
Closing, which thanks the reader and provides contact information and follow-up details.
