Hello house, i need to know. In a situation that you are requested to apply for a postion/vacancy by sending your cv to a given E-mail ID. Will it be advisable to send in application letter(as the message of the mail) along with the attached CV or send only the CV. Please, i need clarification on this. Thanks!

I'd say it's always better to include your application letter (also called a cover letter) as the email message. It's the right thing to do.

Follow the instructions given that's what a friend in HR once said to me.

If you see send your cv to ......... then just send in the cv alone.

If instructions say send in your application and cv then go ahead and do that.

Thanks guys,
@forall; av u done such before and u are called for a test? Pls mind u, a cover letter / application letter was not mentioned in the ad. Thanks for ur reply to this.

@Dimples 316; what will be written as an accompanying message with the cv if the cover letter is not included? I await ur reply thanks for ur response.
