[QUOTE="AJ, post: 2239, member: 543"] Already been well answered. From my experience, I’ve generally used the word count and format of cover letter as a guide. An intro has always usually been in my first draft, but by the end of the final draft when I’m heavily cutting word count then I take it out. JD I would suggest definitely not to include as there are only 300 words and I’m sure there are better things to use those words for such as skills. Where you’re attaching a word/pdf doc as a cover letter (perhaps separately to a CV) I.e slaughters, it may be good to include a short summary incase your cover letter is possibly viewed independently of your CV by someone at some stage.
