Letter Writing
Lady or gentleman
I am writing a cover letter for a job I am applying for and I am unsure of whether the person is a man or woman. Their first name is "Jesse" and I don't want to assume anything! how would I address my cover letter as personally as possible without the chance of a slip in gender?
