if they ask for a resume and writing sample, but not a cover letter, send one anyway? or not a good idea?

This works. Cover letter usually just has to convey which position / department you are applying for, and whether you have some sort of in. The rest gets ignored.

IDK why I am giving serious advice on this forum.

is there any advantage at all to sending the cover letter or would the employer have just asked for one if they wanted it?
