Cover letter format

The following cover letter examples arc set in a basic font (Times New Roman) that prints at 12 characters per inch (12 cpi). You may prefer other fonts such as Arial or Courier New. The choice is yours but avoid any fancy choices that may be difficult to read.

The sample letters that follow arc designed to give you a basis for your own customized letters. (The names and addresses of those sending these letters have been changed for confidentiality.) You should also write a very general, boilerplate letter to send to blind box or P.O. box ads, which list only a box number and no company name. A letter sent to a blind box or P.O. box can be specific about your skills but docs not need to be specific about the employing company or organization.

Simple block-style letters have no indents or tabs. You can center your name and address on the page to give the appearance of personalized stationery.
