This article is part of a series called How to Write a Cover Letter. To start this series from the beginning, read the introduction.

We’ve made it to the final article in the How to Write a Cover Letter series. Yay! And just like in the How to Write a Resume series, I’m ending with a bang by giving you a few free cover letter templates for your downloading pleasure. Writing a cover letter is pleasurable, right? Think positive people!

Anyfreetemplate, landing that job interview with the right (write?) cover letter is a heck of a lot easier when you’ve got a few cover letter examples and free cover letter templates to play with.

I’ve put the cover letter templates in Microsoft Word format (just like the free resume templates), to simplify life for everyone. Now, a few words of caution — I’ve never been a fan of generic cover letter templates since they lack honesty, so please try to customize these templates to bring an authentic voice to your application. Now let’s get downloading! Wheee!

Choose the Classic cover letter format if you’re applying to a traditional organization, require a business letter format, and you can be brief in a single page.
