2. A COVER LETTER that I can pass on to the perspective project manager.  This should address your skills and abilities and interests that relate to this field.  Basically this tells the potential project manager why they should talk to you about their project.  This should not be aimed at a specific project, more about you and your skills, experience and background.  I need this in both written and paper forms.  I can print them if necessary.  If you want them on different stationary or paper then please supply those to me.
