Closing
cover letter example

An example of the proper formatting of the closing section of a cover letter.

The closing of your cover letter includes a valediction (sincerely, regards, best regards, your truly, etc.), your written signature, and your name and title.

It's important to always include your actual signature and not a computer-generated signature to personalize the letter. Your signature should go in between the valediction and your name, so you'll want to leave a few extra spaces there.

At the end of your cover letter, after your title, including the word "Enclosure" signifies to the recipient that the cover letter references additional documents.
