So, I have my cover letter written, I'm happy with it, proof read and no errors. But I absolutely despise the all white (and black) cover letter. So I've been looking for a different template/layout for it, but I can't seem to find one. I've tried all of the Word document letter templates but they don't quite work. Do you have any suggestions of how I can visually make my cover letter look different? I really want it to stand out from the pack. You're right. I don't want colors and what my cover letter says about me is far more important. However, I just want a more visually appealing layout for it -- just a slightly different format so that it doesn't look like every other cover letter that is plopped down on his desk.
