Good write up, but in a situation wiaby u dn't knw the name of the person u'r address it to?

....in a situation you dont know who to address your application letter to,it is more professional to use "The recruiting officer'' or you may put it this way;The Human Resource manager.

"Taps mic and clears throat"
Let me add a quick one.
If you know the name of the person you are writing to, use 'Yours Sincerely.

But, if you don't know his/her name, your greeting should be 'Yours faithfully'.

Hope this helps.

Yours Sincerely is unprofessional and informal in a formal letter writing, talkless of an application letter. Yours Sincerely is often used for an acquaintant or relative, someone well known to you. It's yours Faithfully for a formal letter.

i hope you did not hijack this writeup from a website to bring here, not minding the authorized MLA pattern in Nigeria.

please go for more research and come back and correct yourself and your writeup to suit Nigerian. standard for a formal letter.
on the whole, you laboured.

Take note.
1. Yours Faithfully is the appropriate thing
2. Your own Address should be by the top right corner.
3. Heading should be Application for.......
Nice work though!...probably this is the latest style

I prefer the old style we were taught. Not saying I didn't pick 1 or 2 things from op's body of letter although repetition is there which isn't necessary.

pls why should d addressors addressed to d left nd d addresse to d right.....I wasnt tot that tho but d wrld evolve nd is it compulsory my address is in dz format


Your address should be at the top left because

the employer reads the letter ... and not you so he/she has to know where its coming from.... and seeing his/she address first isn't appropriate..


hope you understand.

Op! Thank you for the information.

Well structured and straight forward to the point.

On another note, Is the employer's address not supposed to be on the Left hand side?



That's wrong

Your address should be at the top left because

the employer reads the letter ... and not you so he/she has to know where its coming from.... and seeing his/she address first isn't appropriate..
