About the Modern cover letter template
Modern splits the page vertically: a third of the width is a filled sidebar holding your name and contact details, and the letter runs beside it. It is the closest of the letter templates to a two-column resume.
How it is built
- The sidebar takes 32% of the page width and is filled with your accent colour, with white text throughout.
- The name stacks over two lines in the sidebar, and contact details stack beneath it rather than running inline.
- The letter body occupies the remaining column and never wraps under the sidebar.
