What's inside
- UK_Cover_Letter_Blank.docx
- UK_Cover_Letter_Checklist.docx
- UK_Cover_Letter_Example.docx
- UK_Cover_Letter_Speculative_Blank.docx
What is included:
- Filled example letter: an Office Administrator application (Jane Bloggs, ref. OA/2611) you can copy and adapt – four paragraphs, 215 words
- Blank template in the same layout, every field marked in blue [brackets], e.g. [Job Title], [Job Reference Number], [Hiring Manager's Surname]
- Speculative letter for when there is no advert and no named contact: Dear Sir or Madam … Yours faithfully
- UK Cover Letter Checklist (2 pages): greeting and sign-off table, UK date and address style, British spelling list, what goes in each paragraph, before-you-send steps, UK job words
Built the British way:
- Greeting and sign-off already matched – Dear Ms Smith … Yours sincerely; Dear Sir or Madam … Yours faithfully
- UK date (18 October 2026), titles without full stops (Mr, Ms, Dr), post town in capitals, postcode on its own line
- A closing line for the right to work in the UK and your notice period
- Proofing language set to English (UK), so Word flags US spellings such as organize or color
Who it is for:
Job seekers in the UK – school leavers, graduates, career changers, and anyone applying from abroad who wants the letter to read as British.
