Business Meeting Etiquette

Cover Letter Structure

• A cover letter should have a clear and concise format, with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
• It should be divided into three to four paragraphs, with each paragraph having a clear purpose.

Proofreading a Cover Letter

• A carefully proofread application letter should be checked for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.
• It should also be reviewed for consistency in formatting, font, and tone.

Font Recommendations

• A cover letter's font should be standard, such as Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman.
• The font size should be between 10 and 12 points, and it should be consistent throughout the letter.

Addressing a Cover Letter

• If the name of the recipient is unknown, "Dear Hiring Manager" or "To Whom It May Concern" can be used as a salutation.
• A generic salutation should be used instead of trying to guess the recipient's name.
