Letter of cover
Letter of cover, a letter of cover no doubt contains a contract of insurance but it is not a policy of insurance in the common understanding of that word in the trade. It is well known that in order to obtain an insurance against the risk of fire the assured has first to send a proposal to the insurer and then the insurer takes a little time in making enquiries as to whether it would accept the proposal and undertake the obligation of covering the risk.
