Making Application Letter

1. Date Line / Place and Date of Letter Creation

Example:

Bandar Lampung, April 26, 2016

Jakarta, February 4th 2016

Make sure when you write the Date Line, do not exceed the deadline for sending letters.

The following is a logical illustration for understanding Date Date:

A company is posting a Job Vacancy advertisement on February 20 and in the adverts it reads "The
deadline for submitting an Application Letter is March 2" This means you may not send your
Application Letter after March 2, because this will in vain. It is like salt sea, which means it is a
waste of work because we all know that sea water is salty so why should salt be sprinkled ??

General Television and Radio. Inc.

Jln. Jendral Sudirman No 342

the Post code, it will be better.

Dear Sir,

Dear Mr. Rudolph,

From the example above I use "Dear Sir," meaning if you don't or don't know the name of the leader

apply when you make your application letter. But if you already know the name of the leader in the
company, then you can use example no-2 "Dear Mr. Rudolph, "
