12BUSINESS LETTER TIPS
The following tips are suggestions that you should consider when writing and sending your cover letter or a
business letter to prospective employers:
Use white or light colored paper in standard size (8 ½ x 11 inches).
Be sure to include a cover letter with mailed and emailed resumes. When you email a resume and cover letter,
create a short introduction to use as your email body.
The letter should be easy to read, crisp, and have a format and style that is consistent with that of your resume.
Always update your cover letter for each position that you apply for.
Formatting:
Do not use a template, invisible text boxes, special graphics, color, or shading. Always submit your letter in a .pdf
format.
Use standard, non-decorative fonts between 10-12 pt. in black ink only. Remember to match the look of your
resume to create a packaged look for the employer.
Margins should be equally set between .6 – 1 inch on all sides.
Letters should not exceed 1 page and should not be folded.
Always proofread your cover letter before you send it!
