Really? I wonder if that's because you're not logged in. I get a Washington Post Live Online discussion.

Washington, D.C.: Thanks for taking questions.
I am planning on moving from D.C. to Boston. When applying for jobs in Boston, how should I address this in my cover letter? What is the best way to convince a future employer that I am actually moving? I don't have an actually move date, but will move once offered a job. Should I mention this in the first paragraph, or in the body of the cover letter?
Many thanks.
Mary Ellen Slayter: Go ahead and get a Boston area cell phone exchange.
Do you have a friend in the area whose address you could use as your local address on your resumes and cover letters.
Don't even mention living in D.C. in your cover letter.
This all assumes that you don't expect any help with moving expenses.
