Step 1
Items needed in a cover letter to teach English include the date, contact information, reasons you are seeking employment with the company, reasons you are a good candidate, and an itemized list of documents sent. I personally think that including possible interview times is a good idea. If times are listed in the document, make sure to say what time zone you are referring to. The following step shows a sample cover letter.

Step 3
If you are wanting to teach English abroad, more than likely you enjoy traveling. One way to explain your interest in traveling is to say that learning a new culture gives you a strong sense of accomplishment. Another way is to talk about a possible future with the military. A cover letter should be professionally written and not contain any slang. If the document is being mailed, make sure to sign the letter at the bottom. The company's address and contact information should be written above the "Dear [blank company]."
