 The Heading (The Retern Address) or Letterhead - Companies usually use

printed paper where heading or letterhead is specially designed at the top of the
sheet. It bears all the necessary information about the organisations identity.

Date - Date of writing. The month should be fully spelled out and the year
written with all four digits October 12, 2005
(12 October 2005 - UK style). The date is aligned with the return address. The
number of the date is pronounced as an ordinal figure, though the
endings st, nd, rd, th, are often omitted in writing. The article before the
number of the day is pronounced but not written. In the body of the letter,
however, the article is written when the name of the month is not mentioned
with the day.

The Inside Address - In a business or formal letter you should give the address
of the recipient after your own address. Include the recipient's name, company,
address and postal code. Add job title if appropriate. Separate the recipient's
name and title with a comma. Double check that you have the correct spelling
of the recipient 's name.
The Inside Address is always on the left margin. If an 8 1/2" x 11" paper is
folded in thirds to fit in a standard 9" business envelope, the inside address can
appear through the window in the envelope.

The Greeting - Also called the salutation. The type of salutation depends on
your relationship with the recipient. It normally begins with the word "Dear"
and always includes the person's last name. Use every resource possible to
address your letter to an actual person. If you do not know the name or the
sex of of your reciever address it to Dear Madam/Sir (or Dear Sales Manager or
Dear Human Resources Director). As a general rule the greeting in a
business letter ends in a colon (US style). It is also acceptable to use a
comma (UK style).

 The Subject Line (optional) - Its inclusion can help the recipient in dealing
successfully with the aims of your letter. Normally the subject sentence is
preceded with the word Subject: orRe: Subject line may be emphasized by
underlining, using bold font, or all captial letters. It is usually placed one line
below the greeting but alternatively can be located directly after the "inside
address," before the "greeting."

The Body Paragraphs - The body is where you explain why youre writing.
Its the main part of the business letter. Make sure the receiver knows who you
are and why you are writing but try to avoid starting with "I". Use a new
paragraph when you wish to introduce a new idea or element into your letter.
Depending on the letter style you choose, paragraphs may be indented.
Regardless of format, skip a line between paragraphs.

The Complimentary Close - This short, polite closing ends always with a
comma. It is either at the left margin or its left edge is in the center, depending
on the Business Letter Style that you use. It begins at the same column the
heading does. The traditional rule of etiquette in Britain is that a formal
letter starting "Dear Sir or Madam" must end "Yours faithfully", while a
letter starting "Dear " must end "Yours sincerely". (Note: the second word
of the closing is NOT capitalized)

Signature and Writers identification - The signature is the last part of the
letter. You should sign your first and last names. The signature line may include
a second line for a title, if appropriate. The signature should start directly above
the first letter of the signature line in the space between the close and the
signature line. Use blue or black ink.

Initials, Enclosures, Copies - Initials are to be included if someone other than

the writer types the letter. If you include other material in the letter, put
'Enclosure', 'Enc.', or ' Encs. ', as appropriate, two lines below the last entry. cc
means a copy or copies are sent to someone else.
