•Cover letter
The format for the covering letter is similar to the format of a Formal letter. It goes
on like-

SENDER’s ADDRESS– The sender’s address is usually put on the top left-hand
corner.
DATE- The sender’s address is followed by the date just below it. This is the date on
which the letter is being written. It is to be written in expanded form.
RECEIVER’s ADDRESS– Whether to write “To” above the address depends on the
writer’s preference. Make sure you write the official title/name/position etc of the
receiver, as the first line of the address.
SUBJECT- Then we sum up the purpose of writing the letter in one line. This helps
the receiver focus on the subject of the letter in one glance. It is important to
underline the subject.
SALUTATIONS- This is where you greet the person you are addressing the letter to.
Bear in mind that it is a formal letter, so the greeting must be respectful and not too
personal. The general greetings used in formal letters are “Sir” or “Madam”.
BODY– This is the main content of the letter. It is either divided into three
paragraphs or two paragraphs if the letter is briefer. The tone of the content should
be formal. Do not use any flowery language. Another point to keep in mind is that
the letter should be concise and to the point. And always be respectful and
considerate in your language.
Class 12 | English | Writing | Job Application
[Link] 1– Begin the body of the letter by mentioning the source (from
where you got to know about the job) of information about the job (e.g., newspaper)
along with the day, date and advertisement number. Also mention the post you wish
to apply for.

[Link] 2- Here, you are supposed to offer your candidature by briefing

about your qualifications, achievements, previous experiences and your strengths.
In other words, this paragraph should be an answer to the question: ‘How are you
the perfect candidate for the job?’.
Keep in mind that it should be to the point and clear. You should not sound boastful.

•PARAGRAPH 3- In this part of the body, you are supposed to make a reference to
the photograph (passport-sized), Bio-data or curriculum vitae and other detailed
documents that you have enclosed. You can also appeal for a one-on-one interview.
End the body on a promising note, e.g., Looking forward to your positive response.
COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE- At the end of your letter, we write a complimentary
closing. The words “Yours Faithfully” or “Yours Sincerely” are used.
SIGNATURE– Here finally you sign your name. And then write your name in block
letters beneath the signature. This is how the recipient will know who is sending the
letter.
