3.0 out of 5 stars Tips for writing cover, followup, and thank you letters., December 25, 1999

By A Customer

This book is aimed at the professional or technical person. This will not be helpful for the unskilled or blue collar worker. However, there are tips found in several sections of the book that are interesting and useful for everyone. As an unemployment consultant for those who are primarily not college educated nor professionals, I did not find this to be the best resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sampling and advice, April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This book provides more strategic direction and advice on how to write leters than any others I've seen. These samplings don't just fill up the pages - you can really use them. The book includes letters for all different purposes and some grat street smart tips throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR THE NEWBIES or EXPERTS OUT THERE!, June 8, 2003

By	Capricious Momma "Cindy Lou" (Hobbs, NM United States) - See all my reviews

This book was a great investment! The cover letters give you examples to use in your own letter and show you the strengths found in each cover. I actually took a highlighter to this book and highlighted my favorite lines and ideas out of certain letters. I then implemented them into my letter. Great for everyone, the professional or the inexperienced. YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
