Dear Portfolio Reader:

Begin your letter here with a brief introduction where you state your purpose. Note that, unlike

the paragraphs with an MLA-formatted essay, the beginnings of your paragraphs are not

indented, and the text is single spaced.

Keep a blank line between each paragraph.

In your closing paragraph, thank the recipient for taking the time to read your letter.

Sincerely,

[Leave some blank space for a handwritten signature.]

Markus Downe

Commented [JB1]: Choose one of these two styles. (If you use the second, begin at the top of the page.) For the sake of this assignment, you can use a fake address and/or phone number if you would like.

Commented [JB2]: See “Audience” in “Lesson: The Cover Letter.” Because this isn’t actually directed to a specific person, this general greeting will do.

Commented [JB3]: Because this will not otherwise need to be printed out (because we are not submitting in person) it is okay to submit it unsigned.
