The prompt

Draft a one-page cover letter for the internship below. Voice: confident, specific, not corporate. Structure: (1) one-sentence hook tying my background to their work, (2) two short paragraphs with concrete examples from my resume/experience, (3) one paragraph on why this team specifically, (4) tight close with a call to action. Use {tone} as the tone.

After the draft, add a section titled **Rubric score** scoring the letter out of 25 across five 1–5 dimensions: Hook, Specificity, Team-fit signal, Voice match, Close strength. For each, give the score + a one-line reason. Then add a section titled **Next steps — checklist (copy/paste)** with 5–7 markdown checkbox items (`- [ ] …`) covering proofreading, one tailored sentence to add per recipient, and the exact send window.
