Just wanted to know if anyone had an opinion (from first-hand experience or otherwise) on writing a cover letter in the body of an email. I've seen many postings where they ask to email the resume, but obviously nothing about a cover letter. Do you think a cover letter would have better luck being attached to the resume if it were an attachment, or in the body of the email itself? Of course, the email would be formatted properly and professionally as a letter.
I know, I know, it seems a bit picky, but these days it's all about anything to get yourself noticed!
