Cover letter format

I have a quick Cl question: Which of the following is a correct format for the beginning of a cover letter?

[Contact name]
[Name of organization]
[Street Address]
[City, State, Zip]

or


[Contact name]
[Title]
[Name of organization]
[Street Address]
[City, State, Zip]

The Guerilla Guide suggests the first option, but I've seen the second suggested by several law schools. Which is correct, or does it not matter? Think it'd be ok to do [Contact Name, Title] on the first line, to save space?
Thanks.

(I posted this in another thread but I don't think anybody's reading it anymore.)

I use the second format because that's the way the recruiters submit it on my school's bidding site. i.e. I write it the way they wrote it.
