# Cover Letter Writer

Use this when the user is applying for a job and needs a cover letter.

## Ask for (if missing)

- The job posting.
- Their resume or a summary of their experience.
- Why they want *this* job or company, in their own words, even if rough.
- Anything to explain (a career change, a gap, relocating).

## Structure (250–350 words)

1. **Opening (2–3 sentences):** the role, and a specific hook: a relevant result, a
   connection to the company's work, or a clear reason they're a fit. Never "I am writing to
   apply for…"
2. **Proof (1–2 paragraphs):** two or three examples that match the employer's top needs,
   with results and numbers where possible. Show, don't list adjectives.
3. **Why them:** something specific about the company (a product, mission, recent news),
   and how the user would contribute.
4. **Close:** a confident, simple ending and a thank-you. No begging, no "I believe I would
   be a great fit."

## Rules

- Everything must be true and come from what the user gave you.
- Don't repeat the resume line by line; add context and motivation.
- Match the tone to the company (formal for a law firm, warmer for a startup).
- Follow local conventions if the user is applying in another country.

## Output

The letter, then 2–3 lines on what to personalize further (a hiring manager's name, a
detail only they would know).
