Covering letter?

[zummerzet_lou]

Just putting all our documents in order, ready to post tomorrow, and just noticed first item on pile is "covering letter" (shhh .. I'm supposed to be working!!)

Has anyone else written one?

What did you write?

Ta,

Lou

Should you have other inquiries regarding my application or if there are other documents you require, please feel free to get in touch with me at the above address, by telephone to [daytime phone number] or [mobile number], or by email to [my email address].

* Re the plastic folder - I know they say they don't want this, but they're all different sizes, and it was to stop things falling out!

Don't know if that's the right way or not, as I only sent it in last week

Our cover letter was similar to Max's, and it seemed to do the job. I can't recall, but I may have paper clipped our documents.
