There different situations when both type of cover letters can be used.

E-mailed cover letters are more appropriate to be used if the companies scanned your application using a software (most large companies that post their jobs on online sites usually use this)

Handwritten paper cover letters on the other hand, is more appropriate if you had some sort of personal connection with the employers.

The E-Mail is over a electronic device and lets people get the message more quickly, paper cover letters are on paper, handwritten, and take a little longer to reach the person. Is the question multiple choice? If so what are the choices??
