The letter of application may be written for a wide variety of purposes. For example, a letter of application may be written by someone applying for a job or firearms license. Some systems have an application form to be filled up, while others require you to write a letter of application. Yet, there are some situations which require both a form to be filled up as well as a formal written letter of application.
A letter of application for a job is usually accompanied by the applicant’s curriculum vitae or CV.
