Cover Letter Text

By , About.com Guide

Cover Letter Text Copyright Alison Doyle
Cover letter text should be clean and readable. Avoid writing your cover letter in one large block of text. Break your text into several concise paragraphs. These paragraphs should be aligned to the left; this allows for easier reading.

When you have completed your cover letter, hand it to a friend. Have them glance briefly at the letter. Is there too much text on the page? Is it easy to see the distinct paragraphs?
