I don't know what client program you use, but this is only one way you 
could do it:

Print your cover letter in OpenOffice to a PostScript file.

Open a terminal and enter:

sendfax -n -d some_number postscript.file pdf.application some.fax

And they will all go out in one multi-page fax.

If my memory serves me correctly, Cypheus, WHFC, and RelayFax all 
support sending multiple documents, so if you use Windows and prefer 
that...
