This works marvelously well, however it has not been added to the latest release. Is it possible to include this functionality?

@mitchelloharawild Hi Mitchell. Could you let me know what you intend to do with this PR?

Good morning,

The current version of the vitae package has left these add-on/commits out of the awesome-cv.tex

Just checking what was the status of adding support for cover letter functionality of awesome-cv. I tried the code snippet above, but the \makelettertitle and \makelettertitle in the Rmd are resulting in errors when knitting the R markdown.
