    The simple cover Letter format

    Your Contact Information
    Name
    Address
    City, State, Zip Code
    Phone Number
    Email Address

    Date

    Employer Contact Information (if you have it)
    Name
    Title
    Company
    Address
    City, State, Zip Code

    Salutation
    Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name, (leave out if you don't have a contact)

    Body of Cover Letter
    The body of your cover letter lets the employer know what position you are applying for, why the employer should select you for an interview, and how you will follow-up.

    First Paragraph
    The first paragraph of your letter should include information on why you are writing. Mention the position you are applying for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual contact, if you have one.

    Middle Paragraph(s)
    The next section of your cover letter should describe what you have to offer the employer. Mention specifically how your qualifications match the job you are applying for. Remember, you are interpreting your resume, not repeating it.

    Final Paragraph
    Conclude your cover letter by thanking the employer for considering you

    Re: The simple cover Letter format

    can also be as simple as this,after your addresses:


    It is with great interest that I am forwarding my CV/Resume for your consideration.

    My record of academic achievements and professional career history, demonstrates attributes that make me a valuable employee.
    My CV/Resume is enclosed to provide you with details of my skills and accomplishments, but I am certain that a personal interview would more fully reveal my desire and ability to contribute to your organization.

    Thank you for your time and consideration, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

    I look forward to speaking with you soon.
    Sincerely,
    Daniel Joseph

    golden future ,the answer to your question is yes.
    e.g MR Awosika Adeleke
    7, Acme Road
    Ikeja,lagos

    BUT for you Shegzee
    Your introduction is ok , but in the body of your letter, you failed to tell us [employer ] why you are applying for this position which has to do with
    your experience in the job and how the employer will benefit from your skill.

    Thanks


    I am sorry to reply you late my brothers and freinds
