What makes it useful
A letter should add the connection your CV cannot.
The National Careers Service recommends tailoring every letter, matching the employer's language, highlighting relevant evidence and supporting claims with facts. The generator follows that structure and leaves the final judgement with you.
Connect evidence
Use two focused paragraphs to link your strongest real examples to the vacancy.
Close professionally
Summarise the fit, invite discussion and use the correct UK sign-off.
Guidance checked
Built around current UK careers guidance.
The draft uses the National Careers Service's three-to-five-paragraph structure, role-specific evidence and UK sign-off convention. It deliberately does not invent company research or candidate achievements.

FAQ
UK cover letter questions.
Is this UK cover letter generator free?+
Yes. You can generate a limited number of cover-letter drafts without creating an account or entering payment details.
How long should a UK cover letter be?+
The National Careers Service describes a cover letter as a short letter, usually three to five paragraphs. This tool produces four focused body paragraphs and keeps the draft suitable for a one-page letter in normal formatting.
Should I write a new cover letter for every application?+
Yes. Tailor the letter to the employer and role. Use the job description to choose relevant evidence, but do not copy it or claim experience you do not have.
Will the generator invent experience?+
The generator is instructed to use only your supplied evidence and checks for invented numeric claims. AI can still make mistakes, so verify every sentence against your CV before sending it.
What happens to the information I paste?+
WorkCV sends the form fields to the OpenAI API to create the draft and does not save them. Avoid entering sensitive personal data that the letter does not need.
