A main cover letter, with a separate cover letter/table of contents for each individual envelope, with a statement on each letter indicating all photocopies are true copies of the originals which are to be presented at the interview.

It's not required, but I've seen others include it, and thought it wasn't a bad idea. It's just a blurb in the cover letters that states....all photocopies are true copies of original documents which will be presented at the time of interview.

By the way, I downloaded all the forms I needed for everything off the internet. I had a Phoenix-specific question about something, and come to find out there is NO help line here in Phoenix! The directions keep referring to the 800 misinformation line. So instead, I asked in here
