Hi All, In writing a letter during TC assessment centre, do you include the firm's address on the top right side of the letter or insert letterhead manually?

Hiya @JI


I think @Jessica Booker would probably have more to say here, but I've never thought it necessary to include the firm’s address or manually insert a letterhead unless the instructions specifically ask for it. The focus is normally on the content, structure, and professionalism of the letter, rather than replicating formatting details like a letterhead. If no guidance is provided, I think it's safe to start the letter directly with the recipient's name and title (if provided) or with a formal salutation (e.g., "Dear [Recipient's Name]").

Hope that helps!

Agree with this - you are unlikely to be assessed on whether you would include this or not. Most law firms have template documents where this is all automated anyway, which is why firms wouldn’t really care if you manually inputted such details or not.
