Do we need to include the ECFMG cover page for LOR's we already have??

From what I read, LOR cover pages are for only LOR's where we waive the right to see them...

No, you need to send a LoR cover sheet even if you submit the LoR yourself. In that case you will have to check :"Do not waive the right to see this letter".
I did all my LoRs like that, because they were all sent to me from my LoR writers nod

And don´t forget to submit a DSF also.

actually i sent all of my LORs without cover sheets since I was the one who sent them and there were no problems. The LORs are scanned and in the ERAs postoffice right now. I also clarified this with ECFMG before and its ok not to have a cover shoot. Just my experience.

Coversheet is from ERAS, and DSF is from ECFMG.

Anne, I actually confirmed it, you don't need to put in a cover sheet for LOR's you already have but it doesn't matter if you include one...
