'The covering letter puts flesh on the bare bones of the CV. It points out to the employer the information showing that you have the qualities the job calls for, and makes a statement about yourself and your suitability for the job. It should give the personal touch that your CV will intrinsically lack.'

It has a structure on there too.

Ignore the fact that it says University of Kent :)

You just basically say "Look at me I'm good I can use computers blah blah". Like a HabboX application I guess but for real life.
