2. Covering letter
3. Introductory letter
4. Business letter

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Covering letter

The correct answer is "Covering letter".

• A cover letter, covering letter, motivation letter, motivational letter or a letter of motivation is a letter of introduction attached to or accompanying another document such as a resume or a curriculum vitae.
• Job seekers frequently send a covering letter along with their curriculum vitae or applications for employment as a way of introducing themselves to potential employers and explaining their suitability for the desired positions.
• Employers may look for individualized and thoughtfully written cover letters as one method of screening out applicants who are not sufficiently interested in their positions and/or lack the necessary basic skills.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
   

• Covering letters are typically categorized according to two purposes:
  • Applying for a specific, advertised opening (letter of application).
  • Expressing interest in an organization when the job seeker is uncertain whether there are current openings (letter of inquiry).
