Do You Sign a Cover Letter?
You DO sign a cover letter.
The formal format for a cover letter includes a both a typed signature and an ink signature. Adding a handwritten signature (not a script font from a word processing program) personalizes your cover letter. By omitting the signature, you run the risk that it may seem like an oversight or carelessness to the recipient.
The correct format for a signature on a cover letter is as follows:
