I would personally include the date but all the other things can be omitted.Hi @Jessica Booker , hope you are doing well. For my Cover letter for Slaughter and May, I wanted to ask you, is the following format okay?"
Dear Ms. Arnold,
Para 1 - My interest in law grew after....
Para 2
Para 3
Yours Sincerely,
XYZ
Basically, I am thinking of omitting
1- my address
2- the address of Ms Janine Arnold which is the same as the firm's address
3- the date
4- my introduction "My name is ABC, currently a final year student at XYZ, interested in a TC opportunity at the firm commencing Sept 2026 etc.
I feel that all these details will be there on the application as well. Am I right in starting the main body from the get go? Thanks.
