What is an Application Letter

An application letter is a formal document that expresses an interest coming from the writer. Whether a person applies for loans, scholarships, employment (the letter usually comes with creative resumes), job positions, or promotions. It should contain the necessary information of the writer to warrant a reply. It needs to include contact details, but most importantly, it must politely convey intentions and solicit a response from the companies and people you are sending it to. 

How to Make an Application Letter in PDF

1. Justify and Apply Proper Spacing

Aesthetics is the first thing that catches the attention. Having a penchant for a little bit of organization and presentability through justifications, block paragraphing, and adequate spacing helps a lot. No one would even dare to continue looking at something when spacing is unsymmetrical. The top priority is to get people to read your letter, and the first step is that the letter should be recognized at first glance. Also, having that prim and proper outlook shows the meticulousness of the writer as he or she pays attention to the fine details that matter. Who knows? You may get the appointment letter that you're hoping to receive. 

2. Create Eye Candy Borders

The human eye gets tired most times, and sometimes the application letters you sent are already part of a stacked pile together with the rest. It is also helpful to add some variety to the letter by adding borders that either directs the eyes to a particular focus and mixing it with calm and soothing colors. So that it helps the reader retain attention and relieve tired eyes. When you put this into consideration, you have already invited the reader to read through your letter.

3. Use Friendly Fonts

Just like business cards, a mixture of bubbly fonts and pointy ones creates a blend of invitation and seriousness. Again, just like the previous tips, the goal is to get first the attention of the reader. Although application letters are commonly formal, it is also essential to take note that it expresses a little of the writer's personality. 

4. Say Your Points Clearly

When you already have the interest of the reader, it is significant that his or her reading time is well spent. Thus, say your intentions clearly and straight makes it readable and easy to comprehend (similar to that of a letter of intent). No need to complicate as it is vital to relay what you need to say. Keeping it short, simple, and direct is the key to establish quick and fruitful communication. Your application letter is not an academic essay.

5. Have a Singe Idea in Every Paragraph

Although a letter shouldn't have too many paragraphs, it is vital not to create confusion by having just one idea in each paragraph. Other than saying your points clearly, they have to be well organized and appropriately given an avenue to be relayed in each section. Cramping the information will lose the interest of the reader. Imagine your bosses crafting a detailed memo. Ideas have to be clear, and if not, there will be misunderstandings, so your application must avoid being confusing.

6. Have a Polite Tone

Being outright demanding to the reader is already intimidating. That is why you must keep it courteous. Just like any gentleman or lady talking about their own intentions politely, there is a sense of respect and inviting for a further chit-chat when you establish the tone. Always open and close with a smile. Who knows, your reader might happily smile back, and you have to send a thank you letter in return.
