There are 3 sections of a cover letter that are required when writing a professional cover letter to include with your resume:

Introductory paragraph (to attract the potential employer’s attention)

Main Body (to highlight and draw attention to your skills)

Closing paragraph (to ask for an interview) 

Using the lecture notes above, the video in this week’s discussion forum, and sources from the internet, write and submit a cover letter for a job you are interested in applying for. You can use indeed.com, careerbuilder.com, LinkedIn, or look for a job opening on a company’s website to find a job opportunity that interests you. Be sure to include a copy of the job posting with your cover letter.
