A cover letter can be bifurcated into various categories like; job application cover letter, job acceptance cover letter, job acknowledgement cover letter, salary negotiation cover letter, thank you cover letter, etc.

A cover letter is that piece of document that acts as a direct link between you and your employer. A resume is always written in general, whereas a cover letter is always addressed to an individual.

You have to write the name of the employer in the salutation section. A cover letter is an officially personal document.

An 'acknowledging job offer cover letter' is written when the employer has informed you that you have been selected for the given post and you have to acknowledge the offer. Acknowledging does not mean that you are accepting the job. There is a great deal of difference between acknowledging and accepting and similarly there is a vast difference between an acknowledging job offer cover letter and an accepting job offer cover letter. The situation maybe such that you are considering different offers from different places at a given point of time. But you have not decided which position to accept. Deciding the right kind of job is a very important thing because it decides your future. You need to take time to make the right choice. An acknowledging job offer cover letter is written in such a situation. In such type of cover letter you have to inform the employer that you are considering his/her offer and that you will let the employer know about your decision regarding accepting the job before the deadline given by the employer. You have to see to it the language if the cover letter is polite and correct. It must not invoke any kind of misunderstanding in the mind of the employer. You must take care that the language of the cover letter is not offensive. The employer must not feel that you are neglecting the offer or avoiding the offer. You have to drive home the point correctly and say that you acknowledge the offer and that you are thankful to him/her for considering you as a suitable candidate for the post.
