thanks alot there is a change in my style now!

Guys I thought it's ok for the senders address to be at the top left above the recipient's? Isn't that like the new style or something?

@consultant why is yours faithfully at the bottom right? Thought its supposed to be at the bottom left. And shouldn't the "resources " in human resources manager also be in caps?

[quote author=Jarus]I'm not talking about positioning of addresses. I'm talking about blunders in the bolded parts, even as the whole thing looks very unprofessional and like a letter written by a primary six pupil in English Language lesson.[/quote

Could you please let us have a sample of your own impecable and perfect applicaton letter? Thank you.

Difference between a cover letter and application.

Cover letter is like a formal letter. Having all its attributes.

Application isn't. It is a summary of your cv with respect to the opening in view. And application doesn't need address or lengthy texts
