Kings Lynn cover letter

[Mary]

Hi everybody, I was requested to attach to my application form a cover letter. The course convenor told me what exactly they need to know. The problem is that it is LONG! How long it should be? I am always afraid of messing things up! Should I write in details of my work experience or just mention it en passant and refer to the cv? Help me plz, time is running (and my referee silent on the issue!).

My letter was pretty much exactly one page.

I briefly explained what drew me to medicine, my frustrations re my current career, why I'd decided to study Access to Medicine rather than taking another approach, how I had heard about the King's Lynn course and a brief conclusion. All details of work experience and the like were presented in my attached CV.

well im abit stuck on my cover letter because iv explained all my work experience and why medicine and what im doing now etc in my cv and personal statement,. there seems little point in repeating it all again in the cover letter. ?
