Beginning a paragraph with Also or Furthermore

Question

I am writing a cover letter and I would like to know if I can begin a paragraph with either Also or furthermore . Why I am asking is because someone told me starting a sentence with "Also" is frowned upon but I want to get a second opinion on this .

Beginning a paragraph with Also may give some editors heartburn because it indicates the context of the first sentence of that paragraph is tightly bound to the material it follows.  Consider moving that sentence to the preceding paragraph.
