Mr. Jordan Keller2039 E. 164th StreetAuburn, WA 92109
Dear Mr. Jordan
When composing a letter it is important to include all the parts and use appropriate formatting. The parts of a letter should include the date, inside address, salutation, body, complementary close, and the signature block. If something else is included with the letter the word enclosure should be added after the signature block. When the letter is not typed by the composer they typist initials should keyed in lower case letters after the signature block.
The month on the date line should be spelled out and should include the date and year. For example – January 1, 2010. Depending which format you are using for your letter (block or modified block), either left justify the date or tab to the center point and type the date. Four spaces below the date add the inside address. The inside address should include the recipient's full name, title, and address. The Salutation is the greeting. Ensure you address your letter to the appropriate person. You cannot write a good letter if you don't know anything about the company or more specifically the person you are writing to. The body of the letter should begin two spaces below the salutation. All paragraphs should be aligned to the left margin with a single space within paragraphs and double space between them. When writing a business letter, be careful to remember that conciseness is very important. In the first paragraph, consider a friendly opening and then a statement of the main point. The next paragraph should begin justifying the importance of the main point. In the next few paragraphs, continue justification with background information and supporting details. The closing paragraph should restate the purpose of the letter and, in some cases, request some type of action. The letter should conclude with a complimentary closing. The closing begins at the same horizontal point as your date and one line after the last body paragraph. Capitalize the first word only (for example: Thank you) and leave four lines between the closing and the sender's name for a signature. If a colon follows the salutation, a comma should follow the closing; otherwise, there is no punctuation after the closing.
Kind Regards,
Composer JoPresident
