Need Cover Letter Help - 11/Nov/2004

[sampsonblk]

In response to an online ad, I am sending a resume and cover letter. Problem is, the actual employer is not named. The information is supposed to be sent to a local employment agency. The only contact name I have is for that agency.

How do I compose the cover letter? This lady probably isnt going to do anything but forward the info. Right?

So do I write the cover letter to her? Or to whom it may concern? Or what?

1. I wouldn't even put in a salutation

Just start with

"Please consider my application for..."

2. Address the cover letter to the person or agency

that you are replying to.
