I like to write the cover letter first. Many folks leave it for last. I have tried that. But there is a risk that it will not get the attention it deserves. I believe you also miss out on the opportunity to frame the key narrative elements of your response from the get-go. These themes can then weave their way through the rest of the proposal creating a compelling, cohesive submission. .
