## Description
Paper submission in the journal is usually accompanied by a cover letter. The repository hosts a cover letter template for journal submissions written in Latex that is minimalistic in one way while pre-defined with several commands that drastically speed up the process of preparing a cover letter for journal submission.

### Main Features of this template:
- Custom image
- Minimalistic design
- Pre-defined commands for journal name, author, date, etc.
- Many macros contained in this package speed up the process of preparing the necessary ingredients for the cover letter,
- Defined macros for recommending up to 3 reviewers and/or editors,
- ORCID logo and link to the submitting author's ORCID page,
- controls for adding a "Conflict of interest" statement and declaration.
- Predefined different valedictions for different types of submissions (e.g., Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best regards, etc.)
- Custom greeting (e.g., "Dear Editor" for a regular submission, "Dear Editor-in-Chief" for a submission to a journal's special issue, etc.)
