Use business letter format when writing your letter. If you’re sending a typed hard-copy letter, be sure to lead with a paragraph containing your address, followed by the date, followed by the address of the recipient. If you’re sending an email, you can omit the address and date sections. Decide whether to send a hard copy or email.

Use business letter format. (Single-space with double spaces between paragraphs. Include inside address information—the name, title, organization, and address of the recipient in the left hand corner of the page.)

Addressing an application letter is simple. Firstly, include your contact information in the header of the application letter : Full name Job title Full address Telephone number Email LinkedIn profile (optional)

If you are addressing more than one recipient, you should address the recipient as ‘Dear Sirs/Madams’. If you don’t know the name of the recipient, you should address the person as ‘Dear Sir/Madam’. If the recipient's gender is not known, you should address the person with the full name. Like; ‘Dear David Houston’.
