and the livin' is ea-sy
An agent requested to see the first part of my manuscript. The communication is via email. Do I need to send a cover letter with this? If so, what would this entail?

Thanks!

A very brief cover letter with the partial is appropriate. Just something like, "As requested, here are the first 3 chapters of 'Dead, And Loving it.' I look forward to your response," or some such, signed, Hopeful Author.
