"I often get asked, Is it appropriate, or can you fax a cover letter? and you can, but you really want to be careful. My name is Gloria Campbell, and I'm with Advantage Training Systems, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, giving you the best way to write a fax cover letter. There are several things that you want to make sure. Number one, that you have a name on there. In some cases, you may just have a department, but I really would not send a fax letter, a cover letter, to the Human Resources Department. The chances of it getting there are not too great, so if you have to do a little homework, call the company. See who may be in charge of the department or the area, that you're interested in. Also remember, that that subject line is there for a reason. Put the job posting number. Put the position, that you are applying for. Put something in that particular box, and then follow the format that covers, why are you writing? Why are you qualified? and then you always want to close, and summarize. Basically, what you want to do, is in that fax cover letter, is make sure that you get to the next level. Make sure that your resume gets seen. My name is Gloria Campbell, and I know that these facts, and this information, will help your fax cover letter, get read."
