    comply with legal requirements.

    I appreciate your time in reviewing this letter and hope to hear from you in regard to the next

    4.Differences between job application text and CV

    A CV (curriculum vitae) is different from a cover letter in that a cover letter is more concise and
    a CV is fairly detailed. While a CV includes detailed information about a person's educational
    background and work experience, a cover letter is a more concise document expressing interest
    in the job being applied to.
