Default Re: writing a letter to a prospective employer

Since you're already on a first-name basis with him, I'd address the letter as follows:

Mr. Rick Shaw
Creative Director
McMahon and Tate Agency
13 Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90121

Dear Rick:


That is, use his formal name and title in the inside address, but use his first name in the salutation.

Make sure to mention your past correspondence: "I enjoyed our past email conversations, and per your suggestion, am enclosing some samples of my work."
