About this tool
The letter is built from templates plus the details you provide, so its quality depends on your input. A specific achievement and a genuine reason for choosing the company make the biggest difference. Always personalise the draft before sending.
Free to use. Your inputs are processed in your browser and are not sent to our servers. Results are estimates for general information; see the disclaimer.

What a good cover letter does
A cover letter explains why you want this particular job and why you fit it, which a resume alone can't do. The best ones are short, specific and honest. This generator creates a clear first draft from your details, which you can then edit until it sounds like you.
A simple cover letter structure
| Paragraph | What to include |
|---|---|
| Opening | The role, the company, where you found the advert and a one-line summary of your experience |
| Strengths | Two to four skills that match the job advert |
| Evidence | One real achievement, with a number if you have one |
| Why this company | Something specific about the employer, not general praise |
| Close | Thanks, interest in an interview and your contact details |
The generator follows this order. Leave out any optional field you can't fill honestly, and that paragraph is skipped.
Choosing a tone
- Professional: suits most roles, especially in banking, government, corporate and multinational companies.
- Enthusiastic: suits startups, marketing, sales and roles where energy matters.
- Concise: suits letters pasted into an email or an online form, where shorter is better.
How to make the draft your own
- Use the advert's language: if it asks for "stakeholder management", use those words where they're true for you.
- Add a number: for example, "reduced report preparation from 5 days to 2" is more convincing than "improved reporting".
- Name the hiring manager: if the advert or LinkedIn gives a name, use it. Otherwise, "Dear Hiring Manager" is fine.
- Check the details: a wrong company name is the fastest way to lose an interview.
- Read it aloud: cut any sentence that sounds like it could be about anyone.
How long should a cover letter be?
Around 200 to 400 words, or three to four short paragraphs, works for most jobs. Hiring managers usually skim, so put your strongest point early.
Sending it
- Online form: paste the text, or upload the PDF if there's an attachment field.
- Email: you can use a short version as the email itself and attach your resume. The Message Writer can help with the email.
- File name: use a clear one, such as "Firstname-Lastname-Cover-Letter.pdf".
Pair your letter with a clean resume from the Free Resume Builder, then compare both with the job advert in the ATS Resume Checker.
Common mistakes
- Repeating your resume line by line.
- Sending the same letter to every employer.
- Writing about what you want instead of what you can contribute.
- Making claims you can't explain at an interview.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a cover letter be?
Usually under one page, around 250–350 words.
Should I mention salary?
Only if the job posting asks for it.
Is the letter written by AI?
No. It is assembled from templates and your inputs in your browser, which is why it works offline and keeps your details private.
Is this cover letter generator free?
Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, and you can copy the text or download it as a PDF or text file.
Should I send the same cover letter to every job?
No. Change at least the opening, the skills you highlight and the reason you want to join that company.
