Letter of intent vs. cover letter

Question

Is there a difference between letter of intent and cover letter?

Where could i find instruction of how to write a letter of intent?

Thanks in advance?

Answer 1

A letter of intent is an outline of an agreement between two or more parties, or one parties intentions and desires regarding such an agreement, before a contract or more formalized agreement is finalized. A cover letter offers introduction and summarizes a larger document.

Edit: How to write a letter of intent: this is intended for a letter of intent for a student applying to a university, which I assume is what you want. http://www.howtodothings.com/hobbies/a45...
