Thanks man.
I have seen all sections indivisual letters...
Is it good idea to have Covering letter for indivisual sections or one covering letter for all sections just like you posted below?

Thanks man...
I am going to apply for HSMP next week....

Any further advice or things to consider?

Cheers

Just one advice:

Make things for the caseworker easier by providing relevant information in the cover letter; put your docs in a proper order - it will be a good idea to prepare a docket with correct indexing (using post-its).

If you want your dox to be picked up by a courier - highlight it clearly in the cover letter; send an email and a fax additionally, immediately after getting the reference number.

All the very best for your application,

regards,
