Md,
COVER LETTER: Create a flexible cover letter that is less than 100 words. Long cover letters rarely get read, but instead are ignored. Break the cover letter into four sections. Section 1 : Acknowledge the job that you are applying for such as "Looking forward to discussing your graphics design project". Section 2: Highlight your validations stamps IE skills that are brought to their project. Section 3 Explain how you will solve their problem and the final section request an Upwork Zoom call to discuss their project.
Have a wonderful day and let me know if you have any other questions!

Keep completing your Profile until it hits 100% and then you are ready to start applying for jobs.

Are you talking about the proposal or a cover letter for the proposal? I have never sent a cover letter. If it is the proposal, the length depends entirely on the project and the requirement. There are many jobs you cannot present solutions for in 300 words or fewer. I started a thread on just this topic. The short proposal mantra is loud, but doesn't work for many jobs. The length depends entirely upon the job.

I have done over 350 jobs on Upwork, and nearly all were won using proposals that ran well over 4,000 characters.
Use as many words as you need to describe for a prospective client why you are the right freelancer for their project. Not a character more; not a character less.

Also, Monzur, my proposals include a specific list of the elements of their project I expect to provide, plus a list of other elements that would be add-ons, so they can't say later they expected me to do work I specifically am telling them I am not planning to do unless we agree ahead of time. And I tell them Upwork insists we use the Upwork ZOOM app for our pre-contract negotiations, providing the link to Upwork's policy in this respect.

I am sure some of what I say in my proposals puts some potential new clients off. That is fine with me.
Good luck!
