The objective of a resume for any position is to show your suitability for the position offered. Use the description of the opening to Taylor your information to suit it. Use the skills and experience that applies to this position, don't make things up. Don't overpower your resume with a lot of information that is not applicable to this position; if the recipient can't find the information pertaining to the position quickly, they will go on to the next resume.

date

name & title of addressee

company or organization name

address of company or organization

city, state zip

Dear addressee,

Start with: I am writing to you in application for the ______ position which as posted on _______ (or in the _________ paper).

Paragraph two: My attached resume describes the experience (or training) which is ... (cite some good matches for the job you are applying for, the two or three at most).

Paragraph three: I look forward to meeting with you. I appreciate your consideration. You may contact me at ________________,

Thank you,

Mr. Your Name

In all business correspondence, I've learned to put my phone number (or address if applicable) at the end of the last sentence so they have no problem finding it.

Large paragraphs or blocks of text usually lead a busy manager skip it and move on; that applies to the resume also. The purpose of the resume is to get the reader to call you, not to tell your whole history. If you have computer access, it's best to tailor each resume to the description of the job as described in the opening, especially the "goals". That should match the opening as closely as your qualifications will allow. No fake info, you will be found out eventually.

Is this grammar correct...Please find an attached Preliminary Invoice for your reference. Be aware that this is not a final invoice .?

The grammar in your sentence is mostly correct, but there are minor adjustments needed for clarity and punctuation. It should read: "Please find attached a Preliminary Invoice for your reference. Be aware that this is not a final invoice." Removing "an" before "attached" improves the flow, and there should be no space before the period after "invoice."
