In my instance, I was trying to create a custom cover letter for "a"
specific job opening at "a" specific company.  I never use the same cover
letter twice.  I also have a template resume that I use as a starting point,
and then customize the resume for the job description. The reason I was
looking for someone to write "a" cover letter, was because I was looking to
apply for "a" open position.  I am willing to pay a person to write "a"
quality cover letter for each and every specific job opening for which I am
applying.  But, if I'm going to pay someone, it needs to be a superbly high
quality cover letter, and I have yet to find anybody in the Des Moines area
who offers, and delivers that.
