Hi Sovan! No, you should avoid "Hi" or "Hello" in a formal cover letter. Always stick to "Dear [Name]" or "Dear Hiring Manager,". "Hi" is only okay if you already know the person well and work with them every day! 💼
What if I don't know who to address the cover letter to?
If you can't find a specific name on the job posting, the best and safest choice is "Dear Hiring Manager,". It sounds professional and direct. 🎯
Can I use abbreviations like "I'm" or "don't" in my email?
It is highly recommended to avoid contractions in formal B2/C1 writing. Always spell them out: use "I am" instead of "I'm", and "do not" instead of "don't". It instantly elevates your writing! ✍️
