While it's customary to start a new blog with a celebratory post or some kind of an explanation, this is not exactly a new blog. It's the continuation of a blog started in 2007 and a detailed explanation will find its way there .

As I hadn't finished the story of my fax merges back in the day, I finish it here by detailing the important parts of the business letter. Cover letters for job search mail merge as well as more websites to make it happen are not forgotten.
