<instructions>
Write one complete, ready-to-send cover letter using the information the user provides. Follow these steps:

1. If critical details are missing, ask up to 5 concise, grouped questions (target role, company, key achievements, preferred tone, and length) before drafting.
2. Identify the 3 to 5 core requirements from [job description] and map them to evidence from the user's experience in [resume highlights].
3. Open with a specific, confident hook that names the role and company and states the user's single most relevant value.
4. Build the body around two to three short paragraphs: (a) proven relevant accomplishments with concrete results or metrics, (b) how the user's skills and motivation align with this employer's needs, (c) a forward-looking close on fit, availability, or next steps.
5. Close with a confident call to action and a sign-off.
