the return address to which the recipient will refer when sending a response.

The date a letter is written should be placed below the writer’s return address information. It is the final component in the heading of a business letter.

  The writer’s name is not included in the heading, as it appears in the complimentary close at the end of the letter. It should include only the Avenue, Circle, Court, Drive, and Street should be spelled out rather than abbreviated. Doing so reduces the chances of a response being sent to an incorrect address.

The state name can be either spelled out or abbreviated in upper case letter according to the U.S.P postal Service guidelines.

When the recipient’ name, title and position are known, they should be included as the first two line in the inside address and placed directly above the name of the business or organization.

The inside address contains the mailing information belonging to the recipient and should be justified to the left margin of the letter and placed two spaces below the date (for very short four letter spaces is acceptable).

 As in heading , the inside address includes the street, city, state and zip code of the recipient, all of which should be placed below the name of the business or organization to whom the letter is being written. Identifying words such as Avenue, Circle, Court, Drive, and street should be spelled out rather than abbreviated.

  An impersonal device may be preferable when addressing a letter to a large organization where the recipient’s name is not likely known. For example, Attention: Accounts Receivable or Subject: Billing Error may replace more familiar forms of greeting.

Avoid gender-based salutations when it is not known if the recipient is a man or woman. Dear Student: Dear Customer: Dear Resident: etc. Are perfectly acceptable options for gender-neutral correspondence.  

    The titles Mr., Ms., and Dr. are always abbreviated. Other titles, such as professor and senator are never abbreviated. Regardless of marital status women should always be addressed as Ms. –the only exception being when the recipient has personally expressed a desire to be addressed otherwise (Miss or Mrs.).  

·         The salutation is a greeting. Its placement belongs two spaces below the inside address and always justified to the left margin of the letter. It should include the title and full name of the recipient, followed by a colon.

Customarily the salutation begins with Dear, followed by a title such as Mr., Ms., Mrs., however, when the writer is on a first name basis with the recipient, that formality can be dropped in a favor of a first name.

It is acceptable to double space the text of a letter when the body is very short. This is done purely for cosmetic reasons, giving the letter a more visually balanced appearance on the page. In such instances it is appropriate to indent the first line of each paragraph.

·         Begin the body of a business letter two spaces below the salutation or attention- getting device. Each paragraph should be single-spaced and justified to the left margin of the page with a double space separating each paragraph.

  Customary expressions used to close a formal business letter include Thank you, Sincerely, Sincerely yours, and Yours truly.  Less formal expressions such as Regards, Best regards, and Best wishes I should be used only when the writer is addressing a business associate that is also a friend.

The complimentary close is placed two spaces below the last line of a letter’s body.

   When the expression contains two words, such as Thank you, only the first word receives an initial upper case letter

A comma follows all forms of a complimentary close.

Allow four spaces between the complimentary close and the typed version of the writer’s full name. The space between is reserved for a handwritten signature.
