I applied for a job whose posting asked for a resume, and a comprehensive introduction letter. Most ask for just a cover letter or letter of introduction, not a "comprehensive" introduction letter.

What do you think they meant? Cause I wrote at least 4 paragraphs about my skills and personality lol.
 
I would think it means an in depth letter introducing yourself. Giving details not just vague details.
I would include things like what you like to do or things you have done in the past. A way for them to get to know you. I wouldnt go over board on "I am so good" either. Don't make it sound like you are bragging or anything.
 
It is about how your skills apply to the job you are applying for, and show them what kind of jobs you have had that prove you can do this job. It is also to show them what education you have had, previous jobs that are relevant to this job posting and anything that may help you such as a letter of recommendation for the job. They want to know you are interested, you are a team player, will work hard, are committed to the job, use that kind of language. Make it no more than a page and say thank you for reading it when you near the end. I hope this helps.
