The correct answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

A cover letter is a document you attach to your résumé, this differs from the résumé because in this you introduce your self and explain to the possible employer the abilities, experiences, knowledge, etc. that make you suitable for a job. Besides this, the cover letter is an opportunity to show the employer you know about the company and position, This means the cover letter does not only list facts about you as in the case of a résumé but it is a direct way to address the employer and try to persuade him/her to be interested in you and in reading the résumé. Thus, it is false a cover letter should simply restate what is included in your résumé because it is more complex than a simple summary of the résumé.
