greek  +  55658 Tue, 16 Nov 04 05:02 PM Have only just stumbled accross this great site and can't find the answer to this question so far, so sorry if it's been answered elsewhere. If I'm applying for a job, or in this case work experience, via email, do I still use the standard 'Dear Sir/Madam', 'Yours faithfully' etc? It's only for a small local paper so it seems a bit too formal, even though I don't know the addressee. It wouldn't bother me as much if it was a written letter. Is there a standard way to begin/end emails? Also, should all words in the subject box begin with capitals? Many thanks greek Joined on Tue, Nov 16 2004 New Member 01 Yours Faithfully

No, not all words in the subject box need to begin with captials, only those that would have capitals in any other situation. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	santa  +  56554 Sun, 21 Nov 04 03:39 PM I usually write formal letters using email exactly as I would write regular written mails. I am not aware of any email etiquette to write formal letters. The first word in the subject begins with a capital and so does the proper nouns. santa Joined on Sat, Jun 19 2004 Zurich Full Member 137 If It Is To Be It Is Up To Me Formal Letters, Nouns
