Parts of the Appilication Letter

The main parts of an application letter include the address section, heading of the letter,
the opening paragraph stating the reason for writing a letter, the main body and the
closing paragraph. In some cases, an applicant may add a paragraph that expresses
gratitude for being considered. The letter must have a paragraph explaining the skills
and reasons that qualify the candidate for the position.

The applicant includes an address and contact information on the upper right-hand
corner of the letter in the indented format. The addressee's name, title, department,
company name and address are on the left part below the applicant's address.

The opening paragraph must state the reason for applying the job. The second and third
sections form the main body of the letter. The applicant sells himself to the addresses in
these paragraphs. In this part, an applicant cites the highest qualification and the reason
for changing jobs. In the third section, an applicant matches the skills and experience
with those required by the potential employer. The closing paragraph must indicate the
applicant's desire to be invited for an interview.

It is important to write about availability and willingness to work with the company. The
application letter shows the applicant's enthusiasm and passion
