Typically an email cover letter will be shorter and more to the point. An email cover letter should be similar to a formal business letter in formatting.

I absolutely love The Office, which is why I also feel compelled to share this story. This intern candidate either intentionally wrote his resume and cover letter to mock the Dwight character or thought that this kind of resume/cover letter wo
