Look under the frequently asked question section here. The K1 will need your fiancé's original signature on two of the documents though. There are lots of examples of how to fill out the forms here. Also, once you have everything filled out check it over more than a few times. There are checklist on this site as well. Once you have everything filled out send it to the the Dallas lockbox. Lots of good info on the site, just do a little research and you be fine. If you have anymore questions just post them.

Best of luck

Check the guide posted above and since you are dealing with a very difficult embassy, front load your petition, meaning send as much

relationship proof as possible with the initial petition and don't wait until interview time.

Also get as many visits as possible to spend time together, too many denials happening in Ghana.

It's really not necessary since the cover letter just gives the organization of the documents you're providing.

The consulate where he will be interviewing should already be written on Q36 of the I-129F so its not necessary to write it on the cover letter.
