In summary, the question is where to place a reference code (Ref-Code) in a business letter when responding to a job posting. The options are to place it immediately above or below the subject line, or to include it at the end of the subject line. The best option is to place it at the end of the subject line, for example "RE: Your position as a Consultant Cat Confuser, ref: CA-55291679-EN-12-002."

I'm guessing there are some proffesionals here and wasn't sure where else to ask. There may not be a correct answer. If I'm responding to a job posting and the posting has "Ref-Code: CA-55291679-EN-12-002" where should I site it? I'm guessing it should go imidiatly bellow or above the subject line, for example

Ref-Code: CA-55291679-EN-12-002
Subject: xyz...Dear Human Resources:
-OR-

Subject: xyz...
Ref-Code: CA-55291679-EN-12-002Dear Human Resources:

Or does it replace the subject all together?

I would put it at the end of the subject line:

RE: Your position as a Consultant Cat Confuser, ref: CA-55291679-EN-12-002
