Cover Letter That Sounds Human

A cover letter recruiters actually read

Generate a one-page cover letter that connects your story to the company's mission — without sounding like a template.

The prompt

Act as a senior cover letter writer.

Write a 3-paragraph letter (max 280 words):
1. Opening hook tied to something specific about the company.
2. Why I'm a fit — 2 concrete proof points from my background that map to the JD.
3. A confident close with a clear next-step.

Tone: warm, specific, no corporate cliches. No 'I am writing to apply for'.

JD: <PASTE>
My background: <PASTE>

How to use it

1
Copy the prompt
2
Paste the JD and your CV
3
Pick the tone (warm / formal / direct)
4
Iterate until the hook feels like you
