Cover letter questions?!?!?!?

[onelastwish]

ok, so heres the deal.....

i'm moving at the end of november to another state and sending out my resumes to a few hopeful employers. should i include that i am moving (so it isnt such a question of why i am applying for a job in va when im currently employed in ar)? and should i include that i will be in town and available for interviews/mettings on certain date/time frames?

any help would be great! :redbeathe

also, is is appropriate to list references from current employer with contact numbers in the resume itself? or does this need to be listed seperatly, or not at all?

thanks!
