Do remember:
•	Keep the letter short and crisp. It should be one page long in standard business letter format
•	Address the person by name (for example Mr.Tarun or Mrs. Pooja) in the salutation - to give it a personalised touch
•	Choose a typeface that is clear and easy to read, such as Arial or Courier
•	Proofread carefully. Check the letter twice over to avoid misspellings and grammatical errors
•	Keep copies for future references and follow-ups
•	Sign your letter and attach your resume
Don't
•	Digress from the topic. You will lose the reader's interest
•	Address the letter to a department - it may not reach the right person
•	Attach a photo - nobody is interested in your looks! In fact, it could disqualify you right away.
