I agree with Anastasia, although we did a cover letter as well. We also just used one to list everything, in order, that was included in the package. We then paperclipped the groups of things together...for example, my affidavit, my mom/dads affidavit,etc etc. None of this is a requirement however, it just makes it neater and easier for them to find things. :) M.

I didn't use a cover letter.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
