text: • Your cover letter should be clear and concise. Keep it short – 
  
  ideally, your letter should fit onto one side of an A4 page.  • 
  
  • Use a standard font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, to type your 
  
  e-mail. 
  
  • If you are sending a hard copy of your cover letter: use the standard 
  letter format, with your address at the top right, and the recipient’s 
  address below that, on the left. 
  
  • If you are sending your cover letter via e-mail: write the letter in the 
  body of the e-mail, and start with the salutation (instead of your ad- 
  dress). 
  
  • If you are responding to a job advertisement via e-mail, use the sub- 
  ject line provided in the advertisement. If no subject line was provid- 
  ed, use a relevant subject line that refers to the position being ad- 
  vertised. E.g. “Application for Project Management Assistant position 
  (ref. no. 4231)”.
