Examples with fictional people and companies, created with cvfix from completed questions.

1What do you need the letter for?
Language of the letter:

English is available for university and internships, e.g. English-taught programmes, international companies or an internship abroad. For an Ausbildung we write in German.

For university you get a letter of motivation; for Ausbildung and internships a cover letter (Anschreiben) with recipient and subject line, as German employers expect.

2Where are you applying?

Paste the requirements here: word limit, questions you must answer, list of documents, contact person. We then follow them exactly and only mention what is really there.

3About you: write in your own language
4Where should we send it?

Phone and address only appear in the letterhead. Your email is used only to send the letter, no advertising.

To be clear: the letter is written with AI

The AI only orders and phrases what you tell it. It does not invent experiences, grades or reasons. Still, it is a draft: read it aloud, rewrite anything that doesn't sound like you in your own words, and check whether your university asks you to declare that you wrote the letter yourself.

Why not just ChatGPT?

We ask the right questions.

A chat writes with what you give it – usually a CV and “write me a motivation letter”. The result sounds like everyone else’s. Our questions bring out what makes a letter specific: the side job, the internship, volunteering, the real reason for your choice.

We check instead of filling gaps.

Every number and date in the letter is compared with your answers. What you call a “maybe” does not appear as a fact. What is missing, we ask about instead of inventing it.

You get an application document, not a block of text.

Recipient, date, subject line, the university’s word limit, plus a list of what to check before sending and which documents the ad asks for. If the university does not require a motivation letter at all, we tell you.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a motivation letter?

For Ausbildung and internships usually one page. For university there is no fixed rule: many programmes set a word or character limit, and we follow it exactly when you paste the text of the programme page. Without a limit we write about 300 to 450 words.

Should my motivation letter be in German or English?

In the language you will study or work in: German for Ausbildung, studies and internships in Germany; English for English-taught programmes, international companies or an internship abroad. You can answer in German and still get an English letter.

May I use a motivation letter written with AI?

Each university decides this itself. Some ask you to declare that you wrote the letter yourself. Use our text as a draft, rework it in your own words and read your university's application rules.

What is the difference between a motivation letter and a cover letter (Anschreiben)?

Universities and scholarship providers mainly ask for a motivation letter: it explains why you choose this subject and what has prepared you for it. For Ausbildung and internships, German employers expect an Anschreiben with recipient and subject line. cvfix writes the right document for your goal. Whether a university requires a motivation letter at all is stated in its list of application documents.
