Senior Accountant · meera@example.com · Pune, India

3 November 2026

Dear Hiring Manager,

Your Senior Accountant post asks for someone to own month-end close and GST filing. That has been my job at Kulkarni & Rao LLP in Pune since 2021.

I close month-end for 14 clients in 4 working days, down from 7, and prepare GST returns and reconciliations for clients with ₹2–40 crore turnover.

[Why Deccan Foods: add one specific thing]

Could we talk next week about your close calendar?

Sincerely,

Meera Iyer

Sample draft for Meera Iyer, a fictional senior accountant. Not a real person.

How it worksNo. 004

Three steps, and the facts come from you

The draft is built from what is already on your resume. Where it needs something only you know, it leaves a note in brackets instead of guessing.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Start from your resume

    Pick one of your Dossier resumes, or start blank and type your details.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Paste the job ad

    The draft names the role and the company, and picks the results from your resume that match the ad.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Edit, check, download

    Change any line, run the check, and download the PDF free once you sign in.

Matches your resumeNo. 005

Same facts, same design, one set

The letter starts from your resume, so it already carries your details, your results and your template. Nothing is typed twice.

Your details
Name, headline, email, phone, city and links come from the resume you pick.
Your results
The proof paragraph uses lines from your resume that carry a number, ranked by how well they match the job ad. Nothing is estimated.
Your gaps, visible
What only you know, such as why this company, stays as a [bracketed note]. The checker flags any you leave in.
Your design
The letterhead takes its type, name block and accent colour from your resume's template.
Your format
The country you choose sets the date style, paper size, sign-off and subject line.
Country formatsNo. 006

A letter to Berlin is laid out differently from one to Boston

Pick where you are applying. The date, sign-off, subject line and paper follow that country's convention, and you can change any of them.

Cover letter checkerNo. 007

Already wrote one? Check it against the job ad.

Paste your letter and the job post. You get a score and a list of fixes, most important first. Your letter stays in your browser tab.

  • Company and role

    Both named in the letter, not only in the greeting.

  • A person to greet

    A name where you can find one, instead of a generic greeting.

  • Gaps left in

    Any [bracket] or template placeholder you forgot to fill.

  • Shape and length

    Paragraph count and word count for a one-page letter.

  • A result

    At least one example with a number someone could ask about.

  • Words from the ad

    How many of the job post's key words your letter uses.

  • Stock phrases

    “I am writing to apply”, “team player”, hedges and apologies.

  • A clear ask

    A closing line that asks for the next step.

It reads structure and wording. It does not check spelling or grammar.

QuestionsNo. 009

Fair questions.

Is the cover letter maker free?

Yes. Drafting, editing and checking are free and need no account. To download the PDF, sign in or create a free account. The PDF has no watermark.

Does AI write my cover letter?

The first draft is built by rules, in your browser, from your resume and the job ad. Every number in it comes from your resume. Anything only you know, such as why you want this company, is left as a [bracketed note] for you to write.

Will the letter match my resume?

When you start from a Dossier resume, your name, contact details and results carry over, and the letterhead takes its type, name block and accent colour from your resume's template. The two PDFs read as a set.

Which countries does it handle?

7 formats: United States / Canada, United Kingdom / Ireland, Europe (Europass style), Germany, India, Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), Australia / New Zealand. Each sets the date style, paper size, sign-off and whether a subject line is added. Letters are in English.

Do I need a resume first?

No. You can start blank and type your details. Starting from a resume is quicker: your details and results fill in, and the draft picks the results that match the job ad.

Where is my letter saved?

In this browser while you work. When you sign in to download, it is saved to your account too. The cover letter checker keeps your letter in the browser tab and does not send it to Dossier.

One job ad, a matching resume and cover letter.
