What every strong cover letter does

Opens with the role and why you want it. Name the job and the company in the first two sentences. No "To Whom It May Concern."
Proves fit with one or two specific examples. Not a resume recap — pick the achievement that maps most directly to the job’s top requirement and tell it briefly.
Matches the tone of the company. A startup cover letter reads differently from a bank cover letter. The generator adapts to cues in the job description.
Closes with a clear next step. A single confident line that you’d welcome the chance to talk — no begging, no repetition of the resume.
