How to write a holiday letter (2008 Remix)

#4. Talk briefly about why you're writing the letter. "It's wonderful to take a few minutes to reflect about the year and share some highlights with friends," is the type of opening you're looking for. Don't apologize. If you feel compelled to open with something like "We hate to bore you all with another long, stilted holiday missive," you shouldn't be writing one.

  3. This basically sums up what a cover letter should be and how it should be constructed. Sometimes a cover letter also shows some important details that a resume does will not include.
