Let your letters be brief, concise and without an air of "flout" and let your CV and experience(if you have any) speak for you.
Cheers and the best in your endeavours

Whats the difference between a COVER LETTER and an APPLICATION LETTER
HI YINKA pls where did you see the cover letter you exemplified here, did u download from somewhere or what ???
bcos i av seen exactly what you wrote in here with an office colleague of mine who is nt a member of this naijahotjobs and dat was in August.
Tolexo,
This post was written by Yinka on APRIL 2, 2007.
cheers.
yinka, u r really doing great to this generation. i thank God for People like u, so caring compassionate. i hail u bros.
Treasure
thx guys 4 the information, Yinka and Adeniran u're great. And to 101, the difference btw a cover and an application is that:
1. application longer than a cover b'cos it contains almost all the information about u. while a cover note just as the name implies reflects ur capabilty, ur credentials and it availability
Great job Yinka. Your guz are too good. love been a member of this family. Keep it up bro.
Is it nesessary that a cover note be attarched to cv?
Should age be adjusted to suit specified job?
Thanks.
Ben Onche
i just hope my age gap can still make me get a job in the banking sector
that was so so great
at least i have improved by this sample of cover letter, thanks
Thanks Man, You saved a soul today. Thanks a lot
good job Yinka,u"''ve 4sure bin yor brodas keeper, God bless u
