Hello sir, In a question called Fox industry June 13 5 deficiency+5 recommendation Also a requirement being prepare covering letter. Is this covering letter examinable.? If yes can you pls give guidance on how to approach in few words.

Yes it is - it's probably worth 2 marks and only required when specifically asked for. The published answer shows what is needed - addressee, subject line, intro sentence and a "Yours" that is appropriate to the "Dear" - so if "Dear Sirs" it should be "Yours faithfully".
