I have searched for classifieds on the new site and can't find them. Is it just me not looking in the right place, or do we not have a section for them yet? 

It is a shame that most places would not give this person a second look. They may not know or care what a professional cover letter should look or sound like. At least you can be sure he wrote it himself, he didn't pay a service to write it for him. What I like best it that there's absolutely no fake "BS" in there, like alot of cover letters sound.
 
I hope for that guy, employers in his industry can overlook the lack of professional writing skills and him a chance to show what he can really do!
 
Thumbs Up from me!
