cover letter

Hello, where do you find the address of your client when writing a cover letter for your proposal?

When submitting a proposal on Upwork, it is not always necessary to include the client's address in your cover letter. Generally, the client's location is already specified in the job posting or in their profile.

You don't have access to it and should not try to obtain it anyway.

It is never necessary.

You aren't supposed to write letters at all on Upwork - this isn't like when you apply for a permanent job and send a CV and cover letter. What you do is write a proposal, which is just a brief summary of how you plan to approach the client's project and why they should hire you. 

Please go through the Upwork Academy materials and learn how to use Upwork properly - this is the only way to avoid wasting your time and money and end up being scammed. Your profile isn't well-written, you have no portfolio pieces at all, and your hourly rate is too high for a beginner. It would be very unwise to jump in and start bidding before you've addressed these things. Also, I would advise turning off your "Available Now" badge, because that will use up  your connects as well.
