How about you come up with one and we can give you some thoughts? It isn't too hard to find a stock CL and tailor it for yourself. Keep in mind the general rule for cover letters is they won't get you a job, but if you fuck it up real bad it could lose you the job. Just redact any school/company/people's names or anything you think might out you on this site.

Please don't use the M&I cover letter. 1) I'm confident readers have caught on to it by now; 2) It's entirely possible that an F500 reader will actually care about the content of your cover letter.

The M&I resume template.. whatever. I don't use it, but it legitimately is pretty good. But the cover letter? Come on.. if you want the damn job, write a freaking cover letter. You're going to be writing a lot of useless shit for a few years if you get an offer; might as well practice now.
