How to format/justify the sender/recipient addresses on a London cover letter

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key points for formatting a cover letter, particularly focusing on the sender and recipient addresses in a professional manner:

1. Sender's Address:

   • Place your address at the top right corner of the letter.
   • Do not include your name in the address section; it should be in the signature at the end of the letter.

2. Date:

   • Place the date below your address, aligned to the right.

3. Recipient's Address:

   • Align the recipient's address to the left.
   • Ensure the first letters of each line in the recipient's address are aligned to one another. This is the standard practice in British style formatting.

4. General Tips:

   • Use a professional and aesthetically appealing font.
   • Keep the cover letter short and focused on your past work experience.
   • Proofread for grammar and formatting errors multiple times.
   • Avoid verbose language and ensure clarity.
