[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 27020, member: 1160"] I would agree with [USER=487]@Daniel Boden[/USER] on this. Unless they very clearly on the app form state that they are name blind, I would always ensure to sign off properly with ‘Yours sincerely,’ (if I have addressed the letter to a person by name) and my name beneath, as not doing so could be a mark against you if that is the expectation. I personally just feel it is the safer option to do this because a cover letter is meant to be a formal letter style. I would like to think that if they would prefer you not to, it would be stated very clearly. I appreciate you already tried to contact HR as that too would’ve been my approach to get clarity but given the situation, I think it would be best to play it safe and stick to convention. best of luck with your app! :) [/QUOTE]
