&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Q:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt; I’m a recent grad applying for jobs and I think my cover letter needs some help. I’m using a model I found online, but the format seems too formal and not appropriate for a casual medium like e-mail. Do you have any suggestions?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Signed,&lt;br /&gt;Cyber-applicant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;A:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;Cyber-applicant, check out Vault’s article “E-mailing Cover&#160;Letters.&quot;&#160;Like you, I was putting formal cover letters in emails, even though my inclination was to dash off a few genuine but brief lines. However, it seems like we’re both on the right path. Madeline Miller, manager of Compu-Type Nationwide Resume Service who was interviewed for the article said, “It&#39;s going over the Internet, but it&#39;s the same product. The cover is very important and it should be the same quality if you were to mail it.&quot; Stay the course, and good luck!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Looking for someone to weigh in on your questions, comments, or gripes? Take your turn at stumping the intern. Email &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;sfriedman@vault.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;--Posted by Sophie Friedman, Vault Web Content Intern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
