有关标签‘Cover letter’的问题

Cover letter，英语的解释是 a letter sent along with other documents to provide additional information。
也就是说，Cover letter 是随信或者文件（比如应聘简历）一起发出，但是作为首页，提供一些综合信息及概括说明。Cover letter 通常用在求职的简历的发送以及商业信函等。下面是求职的简历 cover letter 的范本。
Your Street Address
City, State Zip Code
Telephone Number
Email Address
（上面是发送人的地址、联系方式）
Month, Day, Year
Mr./Ms./Dr. FirstName LastName
Title
Name of Organization
Street or P. O. Box Address
City, State Zip Code
（收信方的资料）
Dear Mr./Ms./Dr. （对方的姓）:
Opening paragraph: State why you are writing; how you learned of the organization or position, and basic information about yourself.
（第一段说明你写这个信的目的、你怎样了解的这个机构以及简略的个人情况）
2nd paragraph: Tell why you are interested in the employer or type of work the employer does (Simply stating that you are interested does not tell why, and can sound like a form letter). Demonstrate that you know enough about the employer or position to relate your background to the employer or position. Mention specific qualifications which make you a good fit for the employer’s needs. This is an opportunity to explain in more detail relevant items in your resume. Refer to the fact that your resume is enclosed. Mention other enclosures if such are required to apply for a position.
（你为什么对这个工作感兴趣、你可以胜任这个工作的经验和教育背景。。。等等）
3rd paragraph: Indicate that you would like the opportunity to interview for a position or to talk with the employer to learn more about their opportunities or hiring plans. State what you will do to follow up, such as telephone the employer within two weeks. If you will be in the employer’s location and could offer to schedule a visit, indicate when. State that you would be glad to provide the employer with any additional information needed. Thank the employer for her/his consideration.
（说明你愿意/希望跟雇主进一步接触，期望有面试的机会。。。等等，以及感谢雇主方面的考虑。）
Sincerely,
(Your handwritten signature)
Your name typed
Enclosure(s) (refers to resume, etc.)
