12 cover letter designs, each shown as a complete letter.

Read a whole letter in every design before choosing one. If you already have a letter, the preview shows your letter in that design instead.

The designs are grouped into 5 families — Everyday, Modern, Creative, Minimal and Formal, and each card shows a finished letter rather than a thumbnail, because a letter is judged by how it reads at full length.

Choosing a design does not change a single word of your letter. The words are yours; the design is the paper they are printed on, and it can be changed at any point, including after the letter is written.

The example letters here are written specimens, shown so you can read a whole page. They are never mixed into your letter.

Questions

Can I change the design after writing the letter?
Yes, at any time. Your words do not change when the design does.
Whose letters are these?
They are authored specimens, written to show a complete page in each design. Once you have a letter of your own, the preview shows yours instead.
Do I need a résumé to start?
No. You can upload a résumé for this letter alone or type your own lines of evidence.
Is there a cost?
No. The designs, the letter and the DOCX and PDF downloads are free.
