questions regarding online job applications

hi guys

hope yer all well

I am currently applying for work and wondering what i should put in the space that reads: cover message, should I just copy and paste teh body of my cover letter, i.e. the part from dear sir/madam to yours sincerely?

i also applied for a job last night and it had the contact person as: Stephen, should I start the cover message Dear Stephan?

Just one other question, if you arepplying to a job listing advertised by a recruitment agency, should you say your company, or the company in question, or should you just leave out the whole thing about the company?

thanks for the help in advance,

Ed

1. Yep, put your cover letter in that cover note box.

2. Yep, Dear Stephen.

3. Are you saying the agency have stated who they are hiring for? If so, write the cover letter as if you were applying direct to the company (the recruiter will probably just forward on your application to the company's HR people anyway).
