somebody should pls,tell me what the content of a cover letter looks like,and who drafts it.

A cover letter is a letter that you'd typically send along with a CV when you're applying for a job.

Imagine if someone gets your CV in response to many positions they have advertised. They have no idea which job you are sending the CV in response to, and they have even less of an idea why your CV is relevant to the job they have advertised. They'll just get frustrated and fling your CV to one side.


So a cover letter should (at a minimum) have the following:

What advertisement you are replying in response to;

A very brief introduction to yourself, stressing the qualities that the advertiser will find interesting;

A mention as to why you are the most suitable person for the job;

Any other information relevant to the application;

One or more closing sentences that convey a positive attitude towards getting the position.


I hope this helps,
