[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 209284, member: 30779"] I've seen to different approaches to this, depending on the firm. Firstly, I got a VS interview where I was specifically instructed to copy-paste the cover letter into the box, and address it "to the training principal". As such, I did "Dear Training Principal", and wrote it exactly like a normal cover letter including a 'Best regards' at the end, except obviously no date or address at the top. In another case it was specified not to include a salutation etc., and in that case it was the same as my previous example but with the "Dear" and "Best regards" removed. Since it's a cover letter, I include something like "I'm writing to apply for your training contract" at the start, explain my background and interest in the law, my work experience and how these relate to the firm's practice, what skills I have and how they can benefit the firm, etc. Since they've asked for a cover letter, I would include "Dear" and "Best wishes" (or similar) at the start and end, unless instructed otherwise. There are often clues on chambers student, law careers and/or the firm's website that will give important information on filling in the form correctly. [/QUOTE]
