    COVER LETTER HEADING

    The cover letter is a business correspondence. Therefore, it should be addressed accordingly. A


    common mistake is putting too much information in the cover letter heading. Your name, telephone
    number and email address should not appear at the top of the document.
    When writing your greeting, be as formal as possible. Do not use the contacts first name. Instead, use
    the persons courtesy title such as Ms., Mr., Dr., or military rank with their last name. To Whom It May
    Concern is also appropriate if you do not have the contacts information.
    Below is an appropriate format:
    Your Street Address, Apartment #
    Your City, State Zip
    Date
    Contacts Name (When known)
    Contacts Title (When known)
    Contacts Department (When known)
    Company Name (When known)
    Company Street Address, Suite # (When known)
    Company City, State Zip (When known)
    Dear Ms./Mr./Dr. CONTACT LAST NAME: (To Whom It May Concern: is also appropriate)
    Example for known contact:
    7400 Bay Road
    University Center, MI
    July 21, 2007
    Mr. Christopher Wagner
    Recruiting Specialist
    Pacific Financial Corporation
    1120 Stillwell Avenue, Suite 211C
    Troy, MI 48084
    Dear Mr. Wagner:
    Example for unknown contact:
    Return address/date same as above
    Human Resources
    Pacific Financial Corporation
    1120 Stillwell Avenue, Suite 211C
    Troy, MI 48084
    To Whom It May Concern:
