Return Address

Be sure your E-mail address is mature and professional. Ideally, it should contain parts of your name for ease of use

 

 

 

 

 

Inside Address

 

2. It is very important that you address your letter carefully. After spending time making your letter perfect, you do not want it to be directed to the wrong person or get lost in the mail.If there is a contact name on the ad, address your letter to that person. (Mr. John Smith).

These should attract the employer's attention: state your interest in the company and position; arouse the employer's desire to interview you; and request that the employer take action in the form of an interview.
