Cover Letter Review — line by line, by a human
Send your cover letter, get it back within 48 hours with line-by-line feedback on argument structure, firm-specific tailoring and tone — plus your opening paragraph rewritten for you as a worked example.
Reviewed personally by Surojit Chakraverti — ex-Citi, Rothschild, Morgan Stanley and hedge funds — who has read these letters as the person deciding who interviews. That is the difference from AI-only tools: they make letters fluent; a screener tells you whether yours would work.

What you get
- Line-by-line review of the whole letter — every sentence gets a note where it earns one, not a summary verdict.
- Argument structure: whether the letter actually makes a case for you at this firm, or just narrates your CV in prose.
- Firm-specific tailoring: which lines could be sent to any bank, and what evidence would make them land at this one.
- Tone: where you sound generic, desperate or arrogant to a screener, and how the register should shift.
- A rewritten opening paragraph, done for you as a worked example of the standard the rest should reach.
- Returned within 48 hours by email.
How it works after payment
Pay, then reply to your confirmation email with your cover letter attached, the firm and role it targets, and the job posting if you have it. Your reviewed letter and rewritten opening come back within 48 hours.
Who it is for
- Spring week, summer internship and graduate applicants writing firm-specific letters for banking, PE and asset management.
- Career changers whose letter has to argue a non-obvious path into finance — the case AI templates handle worst.
- Anyone whose letter was drafted with AI help and now reads like everyone else’s — and knows a screener will notice.
The CV gets read first.
The CV Review ($25) is the same 48-hour human treatment for the document a screener opens before your letter: margin-note feedback on structure, impact bullets, formatting and ATS-readability.

Frequently asked questions
- Who reviews my cover letter?
- Surojit Chakraverti personally — investment banking at Citi, Rothschild and Morgan Stanley, then hedge funds. He has read these letters as the person deciding who gets the interview, and has coached 1,000+ candidates. No delegation, no AI: a human practitioner reads every line.
- How is this different from asking ChatGPT to improve my letter?
- AI will make your letter fluent and generic — which is precisely the failure mode, because screeners now read hundreds of fluent, generic letters. A human who has screened for these roles tells you whether your argument would actually persuade this firm, which claims need evidence, and where your letter sounds like everyone else’s. The rewritten opening paragraph shows you the standard rather than describing it.
- What exactly do I get back?
- Your letter returned with line-by-line written comments covering argument structure, firm-specific tailoring and tone, plus a rewritten opening paragraph as a worked example. It comes back within 48 hours by email.
- How do I send my cover letter after paying?
- After payment you will receive a confirmation email. Reply to that email with your cover letter attached (PDF or Word), name the firm and role it targets, and include the job posting link if you have one. The 48-hour turnaround starts when your document lands.
- How long does it take?
- Written feedback and the rewritten opening are returned within 48 hours of you sending the letter. Against a tighter deadline, say so in your email and it will be accommodated where possible.
- What does it cost, and should I do the CV too?
- $50 per letter, paid once through Stripe. The CV Review is a separate $25 service with the same 48-hour human turnaround — most screeners read the CV first, so if you only fix one document, fix that one; if the letter decides the application, fix both.
