letter

Produce a formal letter with a clear purpose and ask.

Variants

• Cover (default): introduce yourself + match to role
• Resignation: state intent + last day + gratitude
• Recommendation: who, capacity, traits with examples, endorsement
• Outreach: cold ask with specific reason for this person
• Memo: internal communication with subject line

Structure

1. Sender block — name + contact (top right or top)
2. Date
3. Recipient block — name + title + org + address
4. Salutation — "Dear ," with real name when known
5. Opening — purpose in the first sentence
6. Body — 1–3 short paragraphs of evidence/context
7. Close — explicit ask + sign-off + signature

Length budget

• Cover/outreach/recommendation: ≤ 1 page
• Resignation/memo: ≤ ½ page

Form-specific verification

• Recipient name correct (ask if unknown — never "To Whom It May Concern" if avoidable)
• Purpose clear in the first sentence
• Specific ask, not vague "would love to chat"
• Signature line + printed name
