About the Minimal cover letter template

Minimal balances the header across a single row: your name on the left, your contact details right-aligned opposite it. It is the least decorated template in the set.

How it is built

  • Name and contact block sit on one row aligned to a shared baseline, pushed to opposite margins.
  • The contact block is capped at half the page width and right-aligns, so long addresses wrap rather than collide with the name.
  • A single hairline closes the header; there are no filled blocks, bars, or tints anywhere.

Other cover letter templates

Every letter template holds the same correspondence structure, so switching between them changes how the page looks and never what you have written.
