Any know one? I have to apply for my job by Friday and it requires a cover sheet. I've never had to do one of these before.... I'd like to copy/paste as much of it as possible. lol

Should I just google it?

winword has a generic one.

honestly, a cover letter just 'introduces' the resume . . . it doesn't need to be long, and actually anything > or < a paragraph is fail . . .

Cover letters are pretty easy. Something like "To whom it may concern, I'm writing in application for the position of <blah>. I feel the <skills/qualifications/education> I have make me an ideal candidate. Enclosed is a current resume, kind regards, <your name, date and sign>"

You can dress it up a little more than that but you really do want to keep it brief. Think of it this way: cover letter draws interest to the resume, the resume is really there just to get you the interview, and from there you need to sell yourself as being what they want for the job.
