To review, you must always begin your cover letter by placing your full name, address, telephone number and email address, if you have one, in the top left hand corner of your letter. You must follow this with the same information addressing your letter to your prospective employer.

When addressing your prospect, always use full name, address, etc., and do not use abbreviations.

Address your letter directly to the person in charge of hiring.

Sign your letter by hand.
