Cover Letter Rankings

1.

14, 18, 2, 12, 5, 7, 19, 17, 16, 11, 18, 3, 8, 4, 9, 15, 1, 10, 13, 6

I ranked these 3 cover letters as the best because their formatting was appropriate   They were able to effectively convey their message through their cover letters.  Everything included was pertinent to the job.  Their background's, in relation to math, were also effectively conveyed.  Their grammer and spelling is impeccable.

I don't think that much effort was put into these cover letters, particularly applicant 6.  6 lines really doesn't meet my standards.  It did not have enough substance to make me want to hire this person.  "As my qualifications meet your requirements, I welcome any further contacts with you."  This seems very cocky to me.  These cover letters did not give me a very good vibe about the people who wrote them.
