Cover letter templates
Fourteen layouts, from the plainest to the boldest. All fit on one page — beyond that, a cover letter stops being read. Pick the one that goes with your CV: the builder reuses the same accent colour, so both documents look like they belong together.

Name left, detailed contacts right, accent bar. Our default template.
Paraphe
Centered header with a full-width bar. Restrained yet assertive.
Vélin
Contact chips with the name on the left. Contemporary without excess.
Onciale
Centered serif capitals with thin rules. The most formal register.
Estampe
Dark left column carrying your contacts. Structured.
Filigrane
Full-width color band with the name in white. Impossible to miss.
Sceau
Color band with serif capitals. Quiet authority.
Alinéa
Colored serif capitals with contacts below. Clean.
Bristol
Name in a solid color block, labelled contacts on the right.
Buvard
Light right column for contacts. Airy and readable.
Calame
Color band, labelled contacts and a footer bar.
Missive
Fully centered serif capitals with a discreet rule. Timeless.
Marge
Name left, contacts on a single line. The most discreet.
Liseré
Name and contacts split, thin rule, footer bar.
A letter for every situation
Each one is written out in full, explained paragraph by paragraph, and ready to be copied and adapted.
School work experience
Your first letter, and the only one where having done nothing yet is normal.
Part-time job while studying
The manager is not hiring a CV. They are filling Saturday, and you are either there or you are not.
Summer job
Seasonal hiring is a race. The letter that arrives in March beats the better letter that arrives in June.
Internship
You are not asking to learn. You are offering three months of someone who already knows half of it.
Apprenticeship
An apprenticeship is not a job application. It is a proposal that someone spend years teaching you.
First job after studying
Everyone in the pile has the same degree. The letter is where you stop being interchangeable.
No experience
You have no employment history. That is not the same as having done nothing, and the letter has to make the difference visible.
Career change
The reader isn't wondering whether you're motivated. They're wondering whether you'll stay.
Speculative application
Nobody asked for this letter. That is the whole difficulty, and it is also the opportunity.
One page, not two
A recruiter gives a cover letter a few dozen seconds. Our templates are therefore built for a single sheet: four short paragraphs, a clear subject line, a closing. If your text overflows, shorten the text rather than stretching the layout.
Matched to your CV
The accent colour you choose for your CV applies to your letter too. Sending two documents that look alike is the detail nobody mentions and everybody notices.
