What should the final paragraph of a cover letter include?

  • Show your gratitude. Express an appreciation for the reader's consideration of your credentials. It takes time to review a cover letter and resume carefully, so communicate your thanks.

  • Express your enthusiasm. Include a gentle interest in next steps but be polite. You should request an interview but never demand one or declare that you'll call the office in the coming week.

  • Succinctly remid your value. The final paragraph of a cover letter should remind a recruiter of the value you'll provide to the organization if you are hired.

  • Use a professional sign-off. End with a professional sign-off, such as "Sincerely," "Thank you," or "Best regards."
