Date Put the date below your address. Inside Direct your letter to a specific person. Address Telephone the company to find out the name of the person to whom you are writing. A misspelled name can offend the receiver. A wrong address usually results in a lost letter.
Salutation Be accurate.
No one likes to see his or her name misspelled. In replying to an ad that gives only a post-office box number, omit the salutation and start your opening paragraph directly below the inside address. Introductory State your purpose for writing and your source of information about the job. Mention your enclosed resume, but do not summarize it. Closing Suggest an interview, stating that you will call to make arrangements.
