Today we worked on creating our first "block letter" -- in this case, a "Letter of Application". These letters (also called cover letters) typically accompany a résumé.
They consist of the following sections:
- Return Address (your address)
- Date (in long form such as "January 6, 2009"
- Destination (Name and Address)
- Salutation (Dear Mr./Mrs. __)
- Body of the Letter
- Complimentary Cloe (Sincerely,)
- Signature (Written by hand in blue or black ink)
- Your Typed Name
- Enclosures? (Enclosure: Résumé)
