Hi muktha

A short covering letter is a standard requirement when you send out any document. It allows you to say what you are sending the document for and to whom.

Comments on your letter:

- The date should be placed above the receiver

- Addressing the letter to the Manager is fine.

- Always have a title eg. Application for the Post of xxx

- State what post you are applying for.

- Have a double space after a full-stop.

- Tell them why you are suited for the post.

not a teacher

Thanks
It is a general application.Bank has not mentioned about the position of vacant post.So i am confused regarding what job to mention.

Regards,
Muktha

The name of the bank in bracket may be deleted as it is addressed at the top.

You need to use a space after punctuation.

People read the entire word, not letter by letter. I think that's the main reason.

Good luck.

I introduce myself as a qualified post graduate in IT having MCA degree with a commerce back ground and looking for a JOB.

I would prefer the sentence to be more concise like this:
I am a graduate with an MCA degree in IT and have previous work experience in commerce.

Do you call a person with a postgraduate degree a post graduate?
What is an MCA degree?

not a teacher

hi tedtmc

MCA is Master of Computer Applications.
I don't have any work experience in commerce.Just learned commerce.
yes post graduate or I guess simply graduate.
