Does emailing mean that your cover letter can be more informal?

Does emailing meaning your cover letter can be more informal?

That is an excellent question! When you're sending a cover letter by email, I think shorter and a little less informal is great. You want to make that there going to get the essential information when they open their email and not to scroll down to a paragraph after a paragraph to find out why you’re writing to them. So get to the point that’s really strategy.

When you talk about formality if you're writing to someone you know and you had a conversation and your email cover letter is a follow up to that, Dear so and so, I enjoyed speaking with you as promise here's my resume. I look forward to further discussions, that’s great! That’s perfectly okay! If it someone you don’t know and its an initial inquiry then I think a little more formalities in order so that you are giving them the essential information without being too familiar to the individual whom you don’t know.
