Theater & Acting | | | The following is a sample cover letter for an actor. I just have a question. Why is there a set of numbers that folows where he lives (Queens, NY, 12123) and another number for the address of the agency (New York, NY, 12345-6789)? I've never seen that before. I live in Canada so is it an American thing? Thanks.

Mr. John Smith,
National Acting Talent Unlimited,
257, Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am an actor new to the city. I grew up in Chicago and just graduated from the University of North Carolina. I just booked a recurring u/5 on 'Days of our Lives', and I also got a call back for The TV show 'LOST'. I also recently completed a run on a play at The Complex Theatres called 'Justice'.
I would to love to have a meeting with you and discuss our possibly joined future business relations. I enclosed my latest pictures and resume, and I can also send you a reel of selected scenes.
Sincerely,
Mike Anderson,
New York.
| | A. | Hi,
The set of numbers are called zip codes. All cities have them, and some larger cities have several. They are used to help identify a specific city or area in a city. Zip codes are generally used when addressing mail or when searching for directions to a location.
It is an American thing. Here is the wiki definition
The ZIP code is the system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The letters ZIP, an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan,[1] are properly written in capital letters and were chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly, when senders use the code in the postal address. The basic format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP + 4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP code, a hyphen, and four more digits that determine a more precise location than the ZIP code alone. The term ZIP code was originally registered as a servicemark (a type of trademark) by the U.S. Postal Service, but its registration has since expired
Hope this answers your question. | | | |
