I would like to change the paragraph spacing for my cover letter.
Using this trick \verb|\parskip|:\the\parskip\ and \verb|\parindent|:\the\parindent (from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/375896/262286) I could find out what the current setting is. I know I can just override it with a new number, but am still wondering where it's set in the first place, given that it does not appear to be the default.

Add \setlength{\parskip}{1.4em} to the cvletter environment.

{1.4em} as show in the example below sets the spacing between paragraphs to the baseline height of letterstyletext.

Change {1.4em} to whatever spacing you want.
