LaTeX Cover Letter Template

A one-page cover letter with a clean header that matches your CV.

Free — no card, no trial.

What's inside

  • Large small-caps name above a single contact line
  • Thin accent rule that pairs with the CV and résumé templates
  • Date, recipient block and a bold reference line
  • A sample four-paragraph letter you can rewrite
  • Your details defined once at the top (\myname, \myemail, …)
Document class: article
Packages: geometry, hyperref, xcolor

A cover letter is read in thirty seconds, so the layout should get out of the way: your name, how to reach you, who the letter is for, and four short paragraphs. This template does exactly that on one A4 page, with clickable email and LinkedIn links in the PDF.

Your name, phone, email and links live in a few commands at the top of the file, so a new application only means changing the recipient and the body. The header uses the same small-caps style as the CV templates, so the two look like a set when you send them together.
