cover letters

[GhettoFob]

When you email out resumes and want to include a cover letter, are you supposed to just put it in the email message or do you make it a separate attachment (word)? If it's a separate attachment, what should you put in the email body?

I would just write it in the email. Otherwise it looks stupid with nothing but attachments.

I do this as well. However, every once in a while you run into the job posting where they specifically ask you to send it as an attachment.

Ok, so put in email unless stated otherwise, good to know. One more question: should I leave contact info at the top of the email or after my name at the bottom?
