Hi {{ CONTACT_FIRST_NAME }},

{{ OPENING_SENTENCE }}. One sentence, <16 words, no "hope you're well".

{{ BODY_PARAGRAPH_1 }}. One claim per paragraph, reader as the subject, verb = action.

{{ BODY_PARAGRAPH_2 }}. What we did, what we propose, what we need from you.

{{ CLOSING_SENTENCE }}. Concrete next step with a date or moment. No "looking forward to hearing from you".

Kind regards,

Cover letter · template, not an example

Why we built it this way

The letterhead is the chrome, the cover letter is the words

letterhead.html ships the header + footer + brand tells. cover-letter.html ships the actual copy: how a Conduction letter sounds, with placeholder blocks you replace for each send.

Three paragraphs, not four. Opening, body, sign-off. Reader scans; reader decides; reader responds. Four paragraphs dilute.
Short subject, verb-led. "Offer: WOO publication" not "Subject: offer regarding the establishment of a publication environment".
"Hi {{first name}}", never "Dear Sir/Madam". MKB-direct. If you want to write formally, don't write the letter.
Concrete next step. No "we'd love to hear from you". Date, moment, name. Someone can act after reading.
Template, not an example. Placeholders with {{ }}, search-replace ready. For an Acme version, see quotation.

Uses

letterhead as the chrome · voice for tone discipline · audience for "who reads this" · .paper--A4
