The Prompt

Write a cover letter a hiring manager can finish in 60 seconds.

Role: {{role}}
Company: {{company}}
What they say they need:
{{job_description}}
Two proof points from my background:
{{proof}}
Why this company (facts only): {{why_them}}

Structure:
- Opening: the role + one proof sentence, not "I am excited to apply"
- Middle: two short paragraphs, each one proof point mapped to a need in the posting
- Close: availability / process + thanks. No "please find my resume attached" if it is already attached

150–220 words. No adjectives I cannot back. If {{why_them}} is empty, ask me for one fact before drafting a flattery paragraph.

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
