Summary of Correspondence Tips

• Use a standard business style format and 8 1/2" X 11" paper.
• Type all letters. Employers type even personal notes, so follow suit
• Address letters to a particular individual, and use his/her correct title.
• Never duplicate a letter; each must be an original.
• Make paragraphs average in length.
• Always send a letter with a resume, never a resume alone.
• Check your work carefully for grammar and spelling. It is a good idea to have someone else proofread it.
• Be wary of suggestions to use gimmicky attention-getters, overzealous or desperate sounding phrases, and exaggerated praise of the employer.
