    When addressing your prospect, always use full name, address, etc., and do not use abbreviations.

    Address your letter directly to the person in charge of hiring.

    Sign your letter by hand.

    The cover letter is a sales letter. You are selling yourself. The overriding purpose of the letter is to tell the prospective employer why you feel you are qualified. The letter must focus on what you can do for the employer, not what the company can offer you.

    Keep this is mind and you'll stand a much better chance of getting your resume read and a call for an interview.
